Don't try to free NULL xmlnodes stolen by jabber-receiving-xmlnode handlers Handlers get a (xmlnode **) that they're meant to set to NULL if they steal the node for their own nefarious purposes, signalling to the prpl that it should forget about that node. But the prpl still tried to free the xmlnode* even if it had been NULLified, triggering g_return_if_fail warnings. Fixes the issue discussed by Arne K���nig in http://pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/2008-November/007035.html and the following messages.

SILC Purple Plugin
==================

This is the Purple 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 SILC into Purple, one needs to first compile and install 
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --enable-shared
	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 Purple's ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as simply as:

	./configure

if pkg-config is installed in your system.  If it is isn't it's done as:

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

If the SILC Toolkit cannot be found then the SILC protocol plugin will
not be compiled.
