[gaim-migrate @ 12342] More big changes, yay. I combined gaim_connection_new and gaim_connection_connect. Earlier today I realized that it's dumb to have a GaimConnection that isn't connected. I'm about to combine gaim_connection_disconnect and gaim_connection_destroy, as well. I added a "password" field to GaimConnection. It holds the password used to login a specific GaimConnection. Now, when "remember password" is false, account->password is NEVER set. When the user tries to sign on and Gaim prompts for the password, it goes directly into the GaimConnection. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

SILC Gaim Plugin
================

This is Gaim protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet Live 
Conferencing (SILC).  The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit, 
freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC 
protocol implementation.

To include the SILC into Gaim, one needs to first compile and install 
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --enable-shared --without-silcd --without-irssi
	make
	make install

This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit.  If the --prefix 
is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the 
/usr/local/silc directory.

Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell for the Gaim ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib
		    --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include

If the Toolkit cannot be located the SILC will not be compiled into the 
Gaim.
