It's in.

I checked : it compiles. It's in.

Ok.

Good. We'll pluginize more of ekiga later (I'm thinking about the avahi 
code for example).

I don't get what that renaming is about, but it's still mostly in (I 
made it do the split on non-win32 too).

That sounds good.

If you already have an existing jabber account on a server, then in 
ekiga you just have to go in the accounts window and add a jabber 
account there.
