[alicebot-general] AIM Listener for Program D

I have posted a new AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) listener for Program D. 
  This replaces the "ICQ and AIM" listener, which had ceased to function 
after some IM protocols changed and the unsupported third-party library 
failed to keep up.

The listener is now using code from the JAIMBot project 
(http://jaimbot.sourceforge.net/) which appears to be fairly active, so 
there's a good chance this will keep working for a good while.

The new listener only supports AIM, *not* ICQ, but it appears to handle 
AIM satisfactorily.  As with the Yahoo listener, this listener only 
supports receiving and replying to regular messages -- none of the fancy 
stuff.

Please note that, as of Program D 4.6rc3, there are some special steps 
you should take when configuring the program to use this listener. 
These steps are detailed on the listener's page at:

http://aitools.org/aimlistener/

And the listener itself is available for download at:

http://aitools.org/downloads/#aimlistener

As always, please file bug reports or feature requests at:

http://bugs.aitools.org

And/or post to the Program D mailing list.

Please use the "AIM Listener" project identifier when reporting issues.

Thanks!
Noel
