XMPP is the Jabber protocol. It is also used for GoogleTalk

See here for official documentation or here for the Wikipedia page.

I am interested in it for use with FoxtrotGPS and IncidentView.

I want to pass specific bits of data along from a server to a laptop in the field.

For FoxtrotGPS I want to be able to show the locations of "friends". Aka "presence information" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presence_information

In IncidentView I want to be able to pass along the information from a 911 dispatch center to a rig.

Working with .Net

See Jabber.net

Building pidgin

..because I am interested in libpurple for Windows (and pidgin runs on Windows)

Downloaded and unpacked source from pidgin site.

On Linux

It is easy on Ubuntu 12.04, once you install the build dependencies.

apt-get build-dep pidgin
cd pidgin
./configure 
make
sudo make install

On Windows

Here are the official instructions for Building Pidgin on Windows
