[gaim-migrate @ 13418] sf patch #1235519, from Sadrul Habib Chowdhury This is a pretty big patch that makes Gaim correctly save and restore the current status (away/available, away message, available message, invisible, etc). The GaimGtkStatusBoxWidget thing I think defaults to "Available" every time its created, which overrides the setting that was saved to the XML file. So that still needs to be fixed before this will really work. Anyway, mad props to Sadrul for putting up with my requests on this patch 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.
