/**
 * @brief Provides access to instant messenger programs which implement KDE's
 *        instant messanger interface KIMIface
 *
 * This class provides an easy-to-use interface to all running instant
 * messengers or chat programs that implement KIMIface.
 *
 * It works simultaneously with any running programs that implement the
 * ServiceType @c DCOP/InstantMessenger.
 *
 * IM-contacts are identified using unique identifier strings (UID) used by
 * KDE's address book framework KABC.
 * However the use of the address book API is optional, KIMProxy provides
 * methods to fetch lists of available contact UIDs from the applications.
 * If a UID is reachable with more than one program, KIMProxy aggregates the
 * available information and presents the 'best' presence.  For example, for a
 * contact who can be seen to be @c Away in @c IRC on program A but @c Online
 * using @c ICQ on program B, the information from program B will be used.
 *
 * KIMProxy is designed for simple information in a wide number of cases, not
 * for detailed messaging.
 *
 * The class is implemented as a singleton, so whenever you need access to
 * one of its methods, just retrieve the single instance using instance().
 * The following code snippet demonstrated how to send a message to all
 * reachable IM-contacts:
 * @code
 * // get proxy instance
 * KIMProxy* proxy = KIMProxy::instance();
 *
 * // check if there are suitable applications reachable
 * if (!proxy->initialize()) return;
 *
 * TQString message = "Hi!\nHow are you on this wonderful day?";
 *
 * // iterate over the list of reachable contacts
 * TQStringList reachableContacts = proxy->reachableContacts();
 * for (TQStringList::const_iterator it = reachableContacts.begin();
 *      it != reachableContacts.end(); ++it)
 * {
       proxy->messageContact(*it, message);
 * }
 * @endcode
 *
 * @note While it is possible to communicate with each of those application's
 * by DCOP using KIMProxy has the advantage of communicating with all
 * applications simultaneously and thus getting an augmented view of
 * availability, capability and presence (online status) of IM-contacts.
 *

 * @see TDEABC::AddressBook
