[gaim-migrate @ 15922] Way more changes that I initially thought I was going to make. I apologize for the commit message spam. These changes bring a lot of consistency to our capitalization and punctuation, especially of words like "e-mail". For reference, I've used these rules (after discussing in #gaim): e-mail, a case of two words joined: "e-mail" - in the middle of a sentence caps context "E-mail" - start of text in a sentence caps context "E-Mail" - in a header (title) caps context re-enable, a single word, would be: "re-enable", "Re-enable", and "Re-enable" (respectively) The reason this changeset exploded is that, as I went through and verified these changes, I realized we were using improper capitalization (e.g. header instead of sentence) in a number of dialogs. I fixed a number of these cases before, and this corrects another pile. This looks like I've made a LOT of work for the translators, but the impact is significantly mitigated by three factors: 1) Many of these changes use strings that already exist, or change one string in many places. 2) I've used sed to correct the .po files where possible. 3) The actual changes are extremely trivial. 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.
