Anyone, remember Apollo IM? (http://code.google.com/p/apolloim/) They
were using libpurple on the iPhone.  These were the jailbrake days of
development so the process would need tweaking but I would imagine it
would be largely the same.  That's not to say however that it was
memory efficient, just merely that it was running.  I also seem to
recall there being other iPhone clients (AppStore ones) running
libpurple but I could be wrong on that.
