I got a few of these warnings in the last few weeks and I'd like those
to stop :)
Is there any interest in supporting SILC? It's an old encryption chat
protcol that I never used or never heard of someone using.
Do the pidgin maintainers want to take the package on, or recompile
pidgin without silc support so we can get pidgin of the death list?
