[gaim-migrate @ 16583] Fix a crash when gadu-gadu signs off while a search is still open. It destroys its search HashTable in its close() function, and that table is accessed when gaim_notify_close_with_handle() is called. An alternative fix would be for the close_with_handle() functions to be called before prpl_info->close() in connection.c, but I'm not positive that this wouldn't cause problems with other prpls, so I went for a smaller-impact change. I'll merge this back to the 2.0.0 branch if there are no objections. 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.
