[Wocky] configuration settings for jabber clients

[Jonathan Reed]

Just for kicks, I tried this in iChat (3.0.1 v 392 that ships with 
Tiger).  iChat does not appear to have SRV record  support - looking 
at the wire, I don't even see it attempting an SRV lookup.  Also, 
interestingly enough, in iChat, if I choose SSL, it sets the port to 
5223, however it then insists that I'm connecting to Jabber in an 
insecure way and that my password is exposed on the network.  tcpdump 
and ethereal disagree with this statement, and admittedly I find it 
confusing that iChat would say that when "SSL" is checked in the 
options (and indeed it is using SSL, I can see the certificate being 
exchanged over the wire).  I thought perhaps it was because I did not 
have the MIT CA in my Keychain,  but I added that and it still gives 
that error.
