it's a pain in the butt to write plugins that extend/use jabber/xmpp in
libpurple.  Including jabber in the public libpurple headers would be great
to be able to: easily add new xmpp prpls from 3rd parties, stabilise and
versionify the jabber prpl api, make it easier for 3rd party plugins to add
new auth mechs, make it easier for 3rd party plugins to add support for new
XEPs.
