Right, we use Jabber for message passing.  Ejabberd is a black box,
and as long as it works, we don't care what it's written in (though
Erlang is certainly interesting).  Any jabber server will do as long
as you can disable offline message storing.  Evergreen depends on
jabber, but it doesn't depend on Ejabberd.  Ejabberd just wins for us
on merit.
