FWIW... about http://www.ag-software.de/index.php?page=agsxmpp-sdk

Some time ago I did some prototyping to help someone - took around 5
hours to get a very rough XMPP-to-SL chat gateway prototype up and
running. (this lib being the server + libsl talking to the SL servers,
with the authentication being passed from XMPP into SL, and the
libsl's avatar manager handling the multiple inworld logins - needless
to say i tried just plaintext auth, which sucks). I did not test the
scalability of that construct - but the coding within the agsxmpp was
quite straightforward.

But: the license on the package is GPL, so I guess not very usable.
