Poezio is a console Jabber client. Its goal is to use anonymous
connections to let the user join MultiUserChats. This way, the user
don't have to create a Jabber account, exactly like people are using
IRC. It doesn't handle contact list at all.

The code
======================
Classes:
- Connection *receives* messages from the Jabber network
- MultiUserChat *sends* messages to the Jabber network
- Gui displays everything on the screen and gets the user inputs
- Handler is the "link" between all these classes :
a class emits a signal and the others classes listen to this signal
and do what they have to do whenever this signal is emitted by any class
Q: Why not use Connection to receive AND send the messages to Jabber network?
A: I like it this way.
Q: Could you please make a nice ASCII art, so I could understand all
the beauty and the complexity of this awesome software ?
A: Of course, here it is:
