I looked at this, and it seems to be in a pre-anything kind of stage.  It 
would probably be faster to port xicq to gnome/gtk+ than to work on 
Comlink.  Not to disparage Comlink, it's just that not much has been done 
on it.  I've also come across a gtkicq program which could be made into a 
gnome app much quicker.  Anyway, I'll get with one of these authors and 
see if I can get something they have already done moved into gnomeland.

It all may be moot anyway.  If Mirabilis drops the current protocol in 
favor of their newer one, which isn't understood, no one will get 
anywhere with any project.

Cheers,
Kevin
