Jay (to go along with finch and pidgeon) will be a web-server-based libpurple client, allowing users to set up a small server and use their web browsers to chat. While other web chat clients exist, some power users might appreciate *not* having to use someone else's cloud-based services.

Jay contains three separate programs:
- libpurple<->JSON connector (jayd)
- JSON CGI program, handling authentication and sending updates as needed to the web client.
- Javascript/JSON web client.
If things go particularly well the JSON setup I'm using might become a standard.
