Right now we don't have the patches in CVS.  I need to go back and
look at them again and figure out the best way to integrate them
transparently.  The patch, IIRC, consisted of strndup and strnlen
implementation, so I think I'll need to build a little bit of
infrastructure around them.  I'll do my best to get that done this
evening and let you know so you can test with CVS HEAD.

There's no real need to build jserver if you're planning to use
ejabberd.  But with the inclusion of the patch the build should
succeed.  Unless we're missing more functions, of course... ;)
