Net::ICQ

This is a really unfinished module for communicating with an ICQ
server.

*** YOU CAN'T USE IT YET.  IT'S NOT FINISHED.
    BUT IT'S GETTING THERE!!

    It's here because others are helping me create it and this
    is the easient way to share code :)

CHANGES
=======

Most recent changes are:
0.06 -> 0.07
   - Added separate TODO file.
   - Added a bunch more debug output.
   - SILENT_TOO_LONG packet now handled and replied too with a
     KEEPALIVE packet.
   - Made sure every function always returns some value.
   - packet_waiting now accepts a timeout argument.
