Gajim, being XMPP, will benefit from the get_comp_name method added - 
I did that as a relatively easy way for my mail client to detirmine 
whether or not to use COMPRESS=DEFLATE support (assuming it's 
available). XMPP also has application level stream compression 
(albeit it's a little weirdly specified), so that might be handy too.

Given there's some interest, I'll tidy up the patch and mail it to 
the list, and redistribute a complete Python package from my personal 
dev site.

Is there anything else people want added while I fiddle?

Dave.
