30.8.0         - fix build on x86_64 (-fPIC usage)

8                daemon is in the background.
9              - prefer config files from ~/.skyped over /etc/skyped
10              - handle the case when LANG and LC_ALL env vars are empty
110.7.1         - mostly internal changes, the monster read callback is
12                now replaced by tiny parser functions
130.7.0         - made 'make config' more portable

23                its build was disabled
240.6.1         - added keepalive traffic to avoid disconnects in bitlbee
25                when there is no traffic for a long time
26              - now the plugin or skyped is automatically disabled if
27                the dependencies are not available; useful in case the
28                plugin is to be installed on a public server, or the
29                skyped is to be used with a public server only

36                more stable, compared to openssl.
