That being said, there is not reason you'd have to do threading for a transport. You just need to be able to associate each ICQ connection with a Jabber connection.
And you need to setup your software to be able to wait for input from either the ICQ connections or the Jabber server. Basically, threads are used to allow you to schedule events and such, but just because they aren't available doesn't mean that you won't be able to write a transport. That doesn't mean its not going to be hard, you'll probably just run into issues more important than whether you can do threading.
