jpair used to be just "pair" but that conflicted with something in C++ so
I did a search/replace... so it's really just "Jabber's Pair" I guess.

xpt stands for XML Parsed Tree, really corny I know, but I needed
something simple and didn't want to call it xml_ anything since that might
conflict with an innocent app using the lib...

Actually, I had that in mind when I made xpt, the possiblities of building
some simple C functions for DOM stuff that utilize xpt in the background
to store the tree in memory.  I just never developed the need for the
extra DOM layer, but it might be important for non-server stuff which I
haven't thought heavily about yet.

Doctor! Doctor!  I think he's coming down with the Jabber fever!  Hehe...
don't worry, a few of us are quite infected, *g*.

I should really get back to coding now =)
