[gaim-migrate @ 15669] There was an attempt to make each Jabber resource have its own conversation window, which wasn't working, and instead sending outgoing messages to the wrong resource. Different conversations with each resource breaks the whole "Send to" one-window-per-person metaphor, so I just changed the behavior to send messages to whichever resources last messaged you. Perhaps later, when we're not in a freeze, we can consider an API that allows prpls to populate the Send To menu themselves, letting you easily switch what resource you're chatting with in the same window 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.
