Re: possible (real) Net_ICQ/AIM/OSCAR pear package (?)

The class name should be Net_OSCAR. In the future if more "IM" protocols are added, we could think on building an abstract class with a common interface to all those classes. It's very important that the original desing of the Net_ICQ takes that in mind (also for the IRC classes we already have, as they also fit in the "IM" idea).
