Soapbox XXMP library

[k.o.lu...@rdg.ac.uk]

From the outset this library (Soapbox from Coversant http://developers.coversant.net/)
looked like the most promissing .NET library for the XMPP
functionality of the MeAggregator. Unfortunately my beliefe in it has
fallen to a low point. Although it is very extensive in its supported
functionalities, there is one that is really not that useful. The
Jabber ID (JID) is tightly locked to the URL of the Jabber server that
you use, hence you can't login to one Jabber server using a JID from
another server. This is a functionality that is used (I use it often
myself) thus this library can't be used for the MeA work!

I've spent 1/2 day now looking at the possibilities of changingthe
behaviour, but there seems to be way too many references to the fact
that server is part of jid, and that the login server is that server.

I can almost cry - this time of joy. Joy over the nice people from Sun
who made Java. Joy over the nice people from Novell who made mono and
IKVM and finally, joy over the people from igniterealtime who made
smack.

It seems like I've been able to convert smack from Java into a .dll
using IKVM, which I'm using in .NET. I get contact and can send
presence information to my server. So it seems like my work on the MeA
can start progressing (again).
