           Summary: Allow available word in XMPP presence/status as

There is a new polish XMPP implementation by tlen.pl. It works fine except one
thing - it uses 'available' word in presence to mark user as online. I've
reported a bug here: http://bugi.tlen.pl/index.php?do=details&task_id=1083 .

But I've also noticed that Kopete uses workaround for sms transport for word
'online' that is not in RFC 3921 standard - its case was reported and fixed
here http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129059. Maybe we can support
'available' word in the same way? I've also read that 'available' was in
previous version of Jabber standard (read here
http://www.process-one.net/en/forum/viewthread/260/ ) but I couldn't get it
confirmed.

Alos as far as I could get it recognized GTalk seemed fine with 'available'
word and recognizes it online.

There can be also global workaround - if we don't recognize presence/show word
as one of standard RFC ones, or Kopete internal 'connecting' - just kDebug it
and set it to online - that is what gajim does -
http://trac.gajim.org/ticket/488#comment:6 . Currently it's no-action
(offline).
