[gaim-migrate @ 15218] A patch from Ranma42 in SF Bug #1220557, with lots of changes by me. This merges gaim_conv_chat_remove_users and gaim_conv_chat_remove_user. As I did with gaim_conv_chat_add_user and gaim_conv_chat_add_users, gaim_conv_chat_remove_user is just a simple wrapper. The conversation UI op chat_remove_user has similarly been removed, in favor of UIs only having to implement one function to remove users. 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.
