Subject: [ANN] Jabber-RPC (fixes)


[Ok, I'll get into a versioning scheme soon, promised! just wanted to
get these fixes out quickly.]

Jabber-RPC had a dependency on expat, I removed that in favour of
REXML, so the only dependency left that is not in the standard library
is jabber4r (thanks Aredridel for pointing it out).

The example I gave also was not correct: it lacked the parameter
"from" in the #alive? method (all exposed methods get the "from"
parameter so they know from whom the request is coming), and also
exited immediately when not run from irb.  Here is the correct one:

    require "jabber/rpc"
    
    class TestAgent < Jabber::RPC::BasicAgent
      def exposed_commands
        ["alive?"]
      end
    
      def alive?(from)
        true
      end
    end
    
    agent = TestAgent.new("bot@jabberserver.com/TestAgent", "bot")
    agent.connect
    Thread.stop
