Connect to DrupalChat with other 3rd party chat client (like Pidgin)

This module uses the database and not a xmpp server to send messages from one user to the other. This means, that no server settings exist, and pidgin or other software cannot connect to the chat. The only way for the users to chat, is through the website itself. If you want to use pidgin, you have to use other modules like xmpp framework or dxmpp along with the ejabberd or openfire server software... Of course, I don't know if the maintainers will try in the future to make drupalchat work with jabber servers, but I wouldn't wait for it. DrupalChat, as it is, seems fine for now, for what I need it.
