I will import it. The main reason the other backends are disabled the I
am not using on my jabber server and to keep it simple for the first try
of the rpm. After the import I will have a look at enabling the backends
and if it would be possible to create subpackages for the different
backends. Warren, are you going to write an APPROVED mail or should I?
