Actually it turns out that there are several IM "aggregators" that
provide a shell to multiple IM systems. For example, I use Proteus for
OS X (www.indigofield.com) and I know others that use Trillian for
Windows (www.ceruleanstudios.com), and there are a few others out
there...

Unfortunately with most IM aggregators, some functionality is lost from
a specific IM client (for example, Proteus can't handle file transfer
from MSN Messenger clients yet).

Ah well,
