One use case I can think of is if you move to different
machines a lot
on the same intranet.  That way you could have your chat
history on
any client you log into.  It's one feature I'd like to have
in any of
the client/server packages, actually.

Yes that the main reason to have that. Single file for each
user is not 
very good when you look for some words. Parsing a file is
much longer 
than doing a SQL query.
