[gaim-migrate @ 16394] msn_session_sync_users() iterates over the buddy list, following the ->next pointers of the groups, contacts, and buddies. msn_show_sync_issue(), if called, removed the buddy for which it was called, in preparation for the buddy either being added to the server list or confirmed-to-be-removed. This could lead to the buddy pointer being released and ->next therefore being junk. The buddy is now not removed until the user responds to the action dialog presented via msn_show_sync_issue(). I'm unclear why gtkgaim got away with this exercise in memory stomping but Adium/libgaim crashed every time, but it's safer in any case. I also changed some foo->bar to gaim_foo_get_bar(). 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.
