[gaim-migrate @ 13693] This commit includes a number of changes: 1. Aliases are now used consistently in chats. If the prpl uses unique screen names for chats (e.g. Jabber), then aliases are not used at all. 2. The chat list is now colorized to match the colors used in the chat itself. 3. Buddies are bolded in the chat user list. 4. Buddies are sorted above non-buddies in the chat user list. 5. The chat user list is ellipsized when possible (i.e. on GTK+ 2.6.0 or above). 6. I've accepted patch #1178248, by Matt Amato to add "buddy-added" and "buddy-removed" signals. These were used in my implementation of #3 and #4, to update the GUI when users are added or removed from the buddy list. 7. I've added a "blist-node-aliased" signal that is emitted when a buddy, contact, or chat is aliased. 8. Since it was hard to separate and I need it at some point, I'm letting it slip in... I've changed GaimConversation.log to be a GList named logs. This way, we can have multiple logs for a single conversation. This will be necessary to implement unnamed chat logging in some reasonable fasion (see my notes in the TODO file). 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.
