These have fallen into a state of disrepair. The gaim-patch is for
pretty old version of gaim, and gag is based on the pre-dum TuIM
class. If anyone wants to resurrect this effort, they would be better
off starting the gag stuff over from scratch, and basing it on top of
dum.
In practice, I've become too frustrated with gaim's overall quality
and various Spencerisms to be very motivated to work on anything
related to it. My long-term direction in this area is to come up with
a dedicated, stand-alone MSRP-based IM client.

More concretely, unless someone objects (and I would make sure that
Robert and Cullen specifically are given an opportunity to do so), I
would propose that both of these directories can be removed, so long as
they are archived somewhere easy to get to. (I'm not sure "somewhere in
the vast history of the svn tree" qualifies as somewhere easy to get
to). If they *are* resurrected, they really should be their own project
-- and quite probably in their own repository (although that's a
completely different can of worms).
