[gaim-migrate @ 10726] " After an account was disconnected or signed off, Gaim was not forgetting that it knew the password of the user while in the same application session. This patch causes gaim to blank the password for accounts that do not have "Remember password" set when an account is disconnected by request or forced." --Dave West our rationale for remembering them during that instance of gaim was that you probly do not want to have to type it in again if you are disconnected. after seeing numerous bug reports about people mis-typing their password and people afraid that someone else will sit down at their computer, i decided that this rationale isn't as compelling. 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.
