This patch adds a connection flag GAIM_CONNECTION_NO_URLDESC to allow prpls to specify this limitation (and modifies Yahoo & MSN to do so) It also adds GTK_IMHTML_LINKDESC to the GtkIMHtmlButtons enum (I pondered over this, then realized it's referred to as "format_functions" in some places, so probably could be renamed to GtkIMHtmlOptions or something) This combination allows the GtkIMHtmlToolbar to intelligently ask for only a URL if a description is not supported. One slightly unfortunate side effect is it makes bug 955538 much more prominent on Yahoo" 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.
