+/**
+ * @brief Generic DCOP interface for KDE instant messenger applications
+ *
+ * The interface has two parts:
+ * - methods to get information about IM-contacts, such as their reachability
+ * or their presence status (if the are online or away, etc)
+ * - methods to initiate communication with IM-contacts, e.g. sending messages
+ *
+ * @note If you are looking for a information about accessing application's
+ * that implement this interface, have a look at the KIMProxy class.
+ *
+ * Contacts are identified using unique identifier strings (UID) used by
+ * KABC, the KDE address book library.
+ * The UID generation is handled by KABC::Addressee so the your application
+ * will either have to access the address book or provide a possibility
+ * for associating a contact of your application with an entry of the address
+ * book.
+ *
+ * @note one omission of this interface is the lack of control over the range
+ * of values used for protocols' names.
+ *
+ * If you are implementing this interface, note that your application must
+ * have the following information in its desktop file, so that it can be
+ * identified as providing KIMIface at runtime:
+ * @code
+ * X-DCOP-ServiceName=<application-name>
+ * ServiceTypes=DCOP/InstantMessenger
+ * @endcode
+ * and the class implementing KIMIface must pass "KIMIface" to the DCOPObject constructor:
+ * @code
+ * // just need TQObject inheritance and Q_OBJECT if you want signals and slots
+ * // no need to use K_DCOP macro again
+ *
+ * class MyIMIface : public TQObject, public KIMIface
+ * {
+ * Q_OBJECT
+ * public:
+ * MyIMIface(TQObject* parent = 0, const char* name) :
+ * DCOPObject("KIMIface"), // <-- passing the interface name as required
+ * TQObject(parent, name) {}
+ * };
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * The DCOP part of the interface needs to be processed by the DCOP IDL
+ * compiler. The KDE autotools framework will do this automatically, all
+ * you have to do is add kimiface.skel and kimiface.stub to the
+ * @c SOURCES list in your @c Makefile.am
+ *
+ * @see KIMProxy
+ * @see KABC::AddressBook
+ * @see KABC::Addressee
+ *
+ * @since 3.3
