This script converts your CenterICQ contacts (AIM/ICQ) to BitlBee's contacts.
The use of this script is on you own risk. You agree by using this script. :-)

SYNTAX: `basename $0` <protoname> [<add_proto_tag>]

        protoname     - Choose the protocol you want to get your contacts from
                        by using "aim" or "icq" here.

        add_proto_tag - This is optional and adds a suffix to each nickname.
                        For an AIM contact it will look like this: geno|aim
                        For an ICQ contact it will be |icq , WOW! :-D
                        To enable this option use "on". 

NOTE:
        After the conversion of one protocol is done you will find a file
        called bitlbee_[protoname] in ~/.centericq . Append the content of
        this file to /var/lib/bitlbee/[username].nicks .

        [username] is your username you use to talk to the BitlBee Server.
        You will have to be root to edit this file!

        I hope it will help you to make the switch to BitlBee a bit easier. :-)
