Wiktor Rzeczkowski from McMaster University determined that the most
recent version of ejabberd that works with Evergreen was 2.0.2
(http://list.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-dev/2009-April/004508.html),
due to this change: https://support.process-one.net/browse/EJAB-812

We should probably add this to the FAQ, as I keep on digging up these
links. Or better, fix OpenSRF to start sending from messages :)
