[gaim-migrate @ 14976] Yahoo profiles use links of this form: <a href="http://gaim.sf.net">gaim.sf.net</a> The Yahoo prpl strips HTML, manipulates the text, then passes it to the core, which passes to the UI, which calls another UI function which calls ...linkify. This leads to these URLs looking quite odd. The fix is to have the HTML stripping function deal properly with URLs of the above format. With HTTP being the most common type of URL these days, that's probably a good plan anyway. 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.
