Thanks Mojito Sorbet for a patch that adds XMPP chat.
This adds most of the guts of both Sim and XMPP based IM and chat
communications, using Winforms.

Rename bin/IdealistJabber.ini.example to bin/IdealistJabber.ini and put in your
XMPP server information as well as your favorite conference rooms.

Sim "friends" and XMPP Roster members should appear in the Friends
tab.  XMPP conferences should appear in the Groups tab.  Not sure about Sim
groups yet.  Right click an entry and select "Join" or "Send
IM".  The local chat window and XMPP conferences work for sure.

Each conversation is a separate tab in the left part of the form.  ctrl-C to
copy from the history window.  ctrl-X, ctrl-C, ctrl-V work in the input window. 
Hit ENTER to send.  Right click in history window to save in a file
(chat-name.txt - no file selection yet), clear the window, or to Undock.  
Everything can resize.

An undocked conversation gets its own free floating window, which you can drag
to another monitor, cycle to with alt-tab, etc.  Right-click and
"Dock" to put it back in the main Comm window.

This patch requires that the pieces of the Jabber.NET library be available,
including both jabber-net.dll and muzzle.dll.

Major stuff still to do:  Alerts of new conversations in non-current tabs,
logging, presence control (hiding), see who is in a conference.
