[gaim-migrate @ 11556] Patch 1078151 from Felipe Contreras to fix some more MSN bugs: "User Dislpay messages, and other less used, did not set an slpcall, so the callback that should not be called, was called (in some very special cases)." ... "Here it goes the real real one, as far as I can tell. Cleaning + organizing + documentation + hard bug fix = big patch." -- Felipe Contreras I also fixed drag-and-drop to conversation window file transfers (which I had broken when I fixed some other dnd thing), made the debug output of the autoreconnect plugin more useful, and stopped the message notification plugin notifying you for messages sent by ignored users. 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.
