I looked into this a while ago, talked to some of the CenterIM people,
because I like CenterIM's interface (and that of CenterICQ, which I had
discovered first back in 2003).  Apparently, the OTR support was only for
one protocol, and was less than perfectly stable because nobody's
supporting that functionality now.  That, at least, is the impression I
got from speaking to several of the CenterIM folks in IRC last year.

If there's more/new information suggesting that it works with more
protocols, I'd love to hear it.  I, unfortunately, don't have the time
and familiarity right now to improve OTR support in CenterIM myself, but
I'd love to see that support improve so I could finally ditch Pidgin.

I recall choosing to forego Bitlbee for some reason, but don't remember
why.  I guess I'll have another look at it and see if it's something I
want to use now.
