New Presence Consumer Lib

I have just created a new Presence library - one that does not depend on the Presence daemon. This lib may be used by Python applications that only act as consumers of Presence services, i.e., application that do not advertise services through Presence but merely uses services announced by other peers.

So why did I make this new consumer-only lib? Because it enables devices that are not capable of running the Presence daemon to use Presence anyway (as a client/consumer right now). This means for example, that I can discover and use Presence services from my jailbroken iPod.

The new lib can be found in /trunk/libs/python_consumer_lib.
