add ajaxchat library - needs a lot of integration work to handle decentralisation (e.g. chatroom@website) and zotid w/permissions (e.g. ACL controlled chatrooms); we can also rip out a lot of stuff we don't need.

+AJAX Chat Standalone
+====================
+
+This is the standalone version of Blueimp's AJAX Chat. If you are looking for a version to integrate with your forum, select a different branch.
+
+AJAX stands for "Asynchronous JavaScript and XML".
+The AJAX Chat clients (the user browsers) use JavaScript to query the web server for updates.
+Instead of delivering a complete HTML page only updated data is sent in XML format. 
+
+By using JavaScript the chat page can be updated without having to reload the whole page.
