Jabber libraries suitable for Cocoa apps?

I'm considering using the Jabber (XMPP) protocol in a Cocoa app. Does anyone know of a good library for this?

There's Loudmouth, a C library based on GLib, but it looks like it'd be difficult to integrate into a Mac app because GLib has its own runloop-like construct, so I'd have to run that on its own thread and use inter-thread messaging between the Loudmouth code and my own code. (Back last winter someone posted that they were working on a Mac wrapper for Loudmouth, but nothing seems to have come of it.)

The alternative would seem to be to use one of the Python or Ruby implementations, via the scripting bridge. But this would have more overhead, and I suspect would also have threading issues if the library uses blocking I/O.

Any other possibilities?
