gabble has no implementation of UDP tubes yet.
haze does not even have any tube support yet.

i will reconsider, when we are there.

its also not clear to me, how i should add my connection type into
the telepathy system without writing my own connection manager.

and i dont think clients would autodetect the new connection type
anyways.

I would be happy if you prove me wrong, because just writing a
dbus component wrapping some popen calls, would be the easiest
way of doing things.

with irclib, or some jabber equivalent i guess this stuff would
be around 200-300 lines of python code added to the current
gtknetsource.py

re tubes:
i am (just a little bit) concerned how much additional jitter,
a non SCHED_FIFO reflector would add to the mix on a higly loaded system.
