[gaim-migrate @ 12182] sf patch #1152664, from Richard Laager This patches does three things: First, it uses aliases in file transfer messages whenever possible. Second, it fixes the case where file transfer completion messages are not showing for MSN. Third, it makes the wording more consistent: Canceled is used to describe cases when the file transfer was actively canceled by either party. Failed is used otherwise. Aborted is no longer used at all. Previously, aborted was used in some places while failed was used under the same circumstances in other places. Also, in the file transfer box, canceled was used in one place for remotely or locally canceled files while in another place in the same box canceled was only used for locally canceled files (failed was used for remotely canceled files). 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.
