Hi, John and Stephan!

It's very nice to see such thing on hackage. I'm planning
to write some long hanging notification robots at work using
your library, so I have some questions and comments:

1. gsasl hackage package did not build for me against libgsasl-0.2.28.
    It did not define _MAJOR _MINOR macros, So I had to update
    up to libgsasl-1.4 which worked fine. Is there way to put constraints
    to pkgconfig-depends to .cabal file?

2. Just running echo.hs example causes it to be closed on timeout
    from server side (we use OpenFire and idle timeout there is 6 minutes).
    So my question is rore about library design abilities: can you inject ping
    stanzas (on expired timeout) messages into that example too?

Thanks!
