Assume you are behind a router which you don't own and can't forward the Wormux port to your PC. However your friend which you intend to invite into a game has the Wormux port open. As you don't have the Wormux port open you can't host directly but would need to join a game hosted by a headless server and invite your friends into it. If there is no headless server you have a problem. The idea is now that the instant messenger knows who would like to play and can automatically let your friend host the game when your PC is behind a router or a firewall. Please note that I am not against what you want to implement. I just want you to know alternatives before you decide which approach is better. You know the Telepathy project much better and know if it's worth adding ifdefs or not.
