Jabber support only requires perl 5.6 is only required for Windows users.
Jabber requires a compiled unicode module, or perl 5.6, which has it built
in.   When I first hacked in Jaber a year ago, I modified it not to require
it, since we most of us do not have compilers available on windows, and
ActiveState didn't have a compiled version available.
