[Devel] adding new event packages to presence server

[Kobi Eshun]

Hi Juha,

I wrote a patch that does this about 6 weeks ago, although it  
probably will not compile against 1.2x any more. It turned out to be  
quite a big patch (about 1600 lines) although some of it was  
cosmetic. The big "problem" with adding support for message-summary  
is that the presence module implements two specific event RFCs,  
"presence" and "presence.winfo."  Much of the logic in the module  
assumes this (or did at the time).

I'm in two minds about bringing the patch up to date. On the one  
hand, it does achieve what you want, if somewhat inelegantly. On the  
other hand, it seems to me to be the wrong way to do it: a better  
solution would be to implement an event notification module that  
implements support for SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY, and PUBLISH in a generic  
manner; and then to implement event packages on top of that.

For the record, we ended up not using the message summary event  
package for our application because it leaves unsolved the problem of  
presenting the list of available messages to the client.
