[gaim-migrate @ 15091] " Adds an emblem to a buddy if they have a queued message (hidden conversation). In the large buddy list it is added in the northwest corner, sliding the existing northwest emblem (if specified) to the northeast position and discarding the northeast emblem. In the small buddy list, the emblem is added to the southeast. Attached is a patch and an emblem image to be dropped in pixmaps/status/default/. The emblem image is a scaled down version of the send-im.png image." -- Casey Harkins as I asked for this patch, and since there don't seem to be objections to it (yet), I'm going ahead and applying it. 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.
