[ANN] Jabber-RPC

Ever thought it would be nice to call objects located anywhere in the
world, without bothering with static IPs, DNS, Apache, CGI, NAT, PAT,
gateways, authentication, and so on?

Jabber-RPC lets you do this. On the callee side you have:

  require "jabber/rpc"

  class TestAgent < Jabber::RPC::BasicAgent
    def exposed_commands
      ["alive?"]
    end

    def alive?
      true
    end
  end

  agent = TestAgent.new("bot@jabberserver.com/TestAgent", "bot")
  agent.connect

On caller, you have:

  session = Jabber::Session.bind("user@jabberserver/Ruby", "user")
  remote_agent = Jabber::RPC::Client.new(session, "bot@jabberserver.com/TestAgent").proxy3
  remote_agent.alive? #=> true

And with a bit more code, remote users can talk to the object through
an IM client, too.

A proper install procedure:
mkdir lib/jabber -p
mv rpc.rb lib/jabber/rpc.rb
cp /path/to/setup.rb .

Then build as you would any setup.rbified package.
