[Telepathy] Empathy port to ARM architecture (Ubuntu Touch)?

Is it possible to use most of Empathy's logic, and plugin-in a
QML-powered user interface on it?

A bit like the Fahrplan developers did it at
https://github.com/smurfy/fahrplan/tree/master/src/gui? (I understand
that the difference technology-wise may be larger than in that
project.)

If convergence is going to happen on the Ubuntu platform a
"responsive" Empathy implementation will be needed anyway. Could be
good to kick this off now. A clean separation would also allow to
implement a 100% web-based HTML5 Empathy client. Wouldn't that be
nice, too?
