I've just started to look at Jabber, but it looks like all you need is to create a client, not a server for aolserver. I haven't been able to find a C api for the server, so if that doesn't exist, integration will not be easy.
I'm also wondering how you can efficiently handle the xml streams. It seems like you have to process char by char.
To complete integration with Jabber, you can just run the open source server and send and receive messages with the client.
