Why didn't I hear about this any earlier, and why isn't it integrated into Gaim?

Oh, for Soylent, I started working on blog feed reading. Currently I got some code that can read an XML feed from any GnomeVFS source, and create a libxml2 xmlDoc out of it. Although maybe I should use SAX to merge different feeds...
Using an XSLT sheet to merge feeds would be really cool and clean, but I think it's the hardest way too ;-)
I tried to document the code well again, it's available here. Can be a nice introduction to GnomeVFS coding :-) (this was my first code using it too ;-))

TODO: add a check to see whether what we pull in is an RSS feed, before loading the whole document, to save bandwidth and memory.
