[gaim-migrate @ 10471] A bug fix for away message tooltips and some more removing-gaim_notify_errors. Here's the thought: for errors associated with a buddy, check to see if there's already a window open for him, if so, print the error to the window and present the window to the user. If not, you can go ahead and gaim_notify_error. So, things like checking profiles in the buddy list might potentially print errors to conversations. I think this is good, but we'll try it out a bit. If it's really good, we won't even gaim_notify_error and instead create a new convo window just for the error. 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.
