Comment(by feynman):

 The bad news is I cannot find a way to contact someone on a gmail account
 if you are not on their roster (I considered having an automated email
 request, but that seemed to complicated).

 The good news is that gmail seems to be fine sending messages to
 jabber.org accounts regardless of whether they are on your contact list.
 So the trick is to always have at least one jabber.org account (though any
 non-gmail one will probably do) and make sure the client always routes
 connection requests through a jabber account. This would look as follows
 in as a command line argument:

 python hexchat.py -c jid1 'password1' jid2 'password2' ... -s local_ip
 local_port user at jabber.org remote_ip remote_port

 This does not mean all data is sent through that one jabber account, just
 the first connection request. When it replies, it sends a list of other
 JIDs in an "aliases" stanza.
