AIM <--> Google Talk Federation

[Thijs Alkemade]

When I tested it, it worked without any changes to Adium. Only worked from GMail though, not arbitrary Jabber servers.

We could extend the Address Book importer to understand that xyz at aol.com on Jabber is the same as xyz on AIM (or this for XMPP transports in general), but that's only minor, I'd say. Otherwise it all works, I think. :)
