*** Plucked rev 3976bac9dc1aafa42217dda56118316cb2fed956 (8e1d807c1aadfb510e14f047d2cf00e0c06be465): If a buddy is deleted less than 11 seconds after they sign on or off, and there is a conversation open with that buddy, the PurpleBuddy will be dereferenced after it has been freed. This avoids that by duplicating the required details from the PurpleBuddy for use in the status_timeout callback.

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.
