              - added python-gnutls install instructions
              - bitlbee.pc is now searched under

0.6.1         - added keepalive traffic to avoid disconnects in bitlbee
                when there is no traffic for a long time
              - now the plugin or skyped is automatically disabled if
                the dependencies are not available; useful in case the
                plugin is to be installed on a public server, or the
                skyped is to be used with a public server only
0.6.0         - works with BitlBee 1.2.1
0.5.1         - configure now automatically detects the right prefix to
                match witl BitlBee's one
              - minor documentation improvements (public chats, bug
                reporting address)
0.5.0         - skyped now uses gnutls if possible, which seem to be
                more stable, compared to openssl.
              - skyped now tries to handle all read/write errors from/to
                clients, and always just warn about failures, never exit.
              - installation for Debian users should be more simple
              - improved documentation
              - this .0 release should be quite stable, only about 100

0.4.0         - support for starting, accepting and rejecting calls

              - upgraders: please read the documentation about how to set up
                your config the ssl certificate, this was no necessary till now
0.2.6         - the server setting has a default value, 'localhost' so in most
                cases you no longer have to set it explicitly

                '/me foo'
              - support for setting the display name (nick 0 "foo bar") - it
                sets the mood text
