[gaim-migrate @ 15493] A lot of our conversation code assumes that conv->account != NULL. This is a completely invalid assumption. If you have a conversation open on an account, and you delete the account, Gaim should leave the conversation window open and set the account to NULL and handle everything appropriately. Currently it does not, and that makes me a little unhappy. To reproduce this: 1. Open a conversation with someone 2. Delete the account that you're sending messages from 3. Watch the assertion failures scroll by in the debug window 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
	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 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 Toolkit cannot be located the SILC will not be compiled into the 
Gaim.
