 {{{
 I wouldn't bother at all with NAT prenatation at first. For OLPC the
 common
 case is probably kids on the same network, so a direct TCP connection
 should
 work.

 In the end gabble should probably do the following:

  0) Try normal OOB using a direct tcp connection
  1) Try OOB with nat prenetation
  2) Give up and use IBB

 We only have 2 currently.. 0 should be easy enough to implement as there
 is
 already working code for that in Salut. 1 is quite nasty to implement,
 because
 ``just'' nat punching isn't enough, you also need a TCP like stream on top
 of
 UDP...
