Here it is! It is limited to XMPP, and empathy has only rudimentary UI. To
start an OTR session, in empathy chat window, type "/otr start". Type "/help
otr" to see other supported otr actions. There is no graphical UI atm.

Notably, to authenticate the other end, you need to verify its fingerprint by
other means, like IRL or phone, etc, then type "/otr trust". It remembers
fingerprints you trust of course, so you won't have to repeat that for each
conversation.

I tested this between empathy and pidgin-otr only.

I hacked this on my free time.
