Im working with DannyS in the job to port all plugins  to kmm.
Jabber is already using it.
We are doing some API changes, KopeteMessage will be changed to
hold KopeteContacts * ( and multiple in the To: field)

Usage of KMM in plugins will be really easy, KMM will pass them the 
KopeteMessage, and it will hold all contacts, so the plugin is only 
responsible to remember WHO is that contact after crating it (ussually at 
connection/loading time) , easily doable using a QMap or somethig.
This means the currently userID hack in KopeteContact will be removed, it is 
plugins resposability to remember who is the contact it is creating without 
add more limitations to Kopete API

After the plugin knows who is each KopeteContact, it just have to send the 
messages.

This approach is clean, well designed, and will allow hacks like supporting 
mutiuser chat in old protocols , (Im not quite sure, but doable :-) )

I would like to thanks spaze for the long discussion about this approach and 
DannyS for help me to start both fixing KMM bugs and now begin this port.

We'll create a branch to do the kopetemessage port and we'll try to port all 
plugins.
(the branch is just because a timezone difference between DannyS and me, which 
can result in unfinished work, and uncompilable states)

Cheers
Duncan
