What do you mean by messenger? Something like a chat application?
I don't see that soon. I think there was some alpha in horde3/incubator 
but I don't remember the name.

In another language/framework/environment we used xmpp (jabber) for 
debugging, as a part of a die handler and for certain types of alerts.

I have looked around, there is only one PHP XMPP library I found and 
it's been unmaintained for years. We probably would have to implement 
parts of the protocol for one-shot jabber messages to rooms or users. 
There is more stuff for IRC but it's also unmaintained and mostly PHP4 
stuff.

Sorry, I don't see this chat client coming in the near future but maybe 
you want to wrap some java chat into a minimum horde app for automatic 
auth. I could help with that.
