[gaim-migrate @ 10997] " Fix Philip Mucci's bug (reported to gaim-devel on the 16th), where malformed (visibility) strings, caused users to be unmessageable and hidden, by normalizing them, and using sane defaults. Fixes CraigD's bug IRC reported on IRC (non-kerberized zephyr users always have the realm "local-realm"), by adding a user-specified "Realm" option string. Also added two new preferences (import from .anyone and import from .zephyr.subs) to go with (export to .anyone and "export to .zephyr.subs"). Since one can now use multiple accounts, most people wouldn't want to use the same buddy lists and chat room lists for both accounts. Added a /topic command to make zephyr use the same command name as the other protocols which have topics." --Arun A Tharuvai 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.
