Centericq is what I use when I don't play with new Jabber clients. It is 
in fact C these days and an 'ldd /usr/bin/centericq' gives me a very 
long list ending with

> libkitchensink.so.11 => /usr/lib/libkitchensink.so.11 (0xb782a000)

yet it does not appear to use libreadline.

One program that uses both is freetalk, a pure Jabber client - but I 
find the  C source (which relies heavily on callbacks) rather hard to 
follow.

Thanks for the input,
