If you had a kerberized IRCD and IRC libs supporting GSSAPI, the above
problems could be solved, as could eavesdropping.  Unfortunately I
can't find information as to whether such a thing exists.

As for a message bus guaranteeing delivery, this ought to be possible
over Jabber.  The larger issue is WHEN it is delivered.  If it is
time-sensitive, having a timeout value and a required acknowledgement
might be necessary.  Anyway, this is wandering far afield.....

The download is old.  Use svn.  We are almost to beta-readiness.
