After experimenting with mission control a bit more, I'm seeing that,
with telepathy-gabble installed, I've got a McManager and a McProtocol
for gabble/jabber. 

In addition/alternative to my first question, is there a way to create a
McProfile for which I can create an McAccount so I can try making
telepathy channels in the Maemo SDK without having to go to the device
to test?
