Well, while this program looks very clean, it is very incomplete, I had to hack it to make starttls work, and I have not been able to send a single message using it :(

Unfortunately, I cannot find a better tool that seems mature, maintained, and packaged for Debian. Maybe it is best to improve the current tool.

Nice code. Need to revisit the jabber protocol to understand what to do.
