It depends on EtoileFoundation, that's all, and that's only because some things 
were moved out of XMPPKit into EtoileFoundation - it was written with no 
dependencies other that OpenStep.  It will also use the AddressBook framework 
if it can (it automatically stores vcards from XMPP users in the address book).
