[gaim-migrate @ 12383] Some escaping stuff, all over the place. Various escaping fixes in the IRC prpl. The core and plugins only need to escape text if it's going to be shown in a gtkimhtml or equivalent - such as writing to a conversation window, or gaim_notify_{formatted,userinfo} The primary and secondary text for all notify and request API functions do NOT need to be escaped by the core or plugins, because whether html-like markup is required for these is UI dependent. Now we always escape these in the Gtk UI request & notify ops. Should I backport any of the above to oldstatus? I also removed gaim_chat_get_display_name() - it was almost a duplicate of gaim_chat_get_name(), and it leaked. 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.
