Yeah; the yahoo support seems fixed in 0.4.0 to the point where it will
allow me to IM with people I know who use that protocol.

I'm trying this, but it still barfs at me, now complaining it can't
find the libtool bits it wants.

	In file included from main.c:55:
	plugin.h:25: ltdl.h: No such file or directory
	make[1]: *** [main.o] Error 1

However; if I do:
	 find /usr -name ltdl.h
-I get this:
	/usr/share/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.h
-which is a bit annoying, to say the least.  If I could figure out
where it's looking for it; I could cheat and temporarily put in a
symlink, but that's a bit gross.  I've looked at the resulting 
Makefile, but I'm just a bit confused by what I'm seeing.  Since I've
got that habit of compiling as an unpriv'd user, and then installing as
root, if I'm comfortable with the results of the compile, is this a
potential source of problems?

I suppose I'll be learning how to build a deb package by the end of the
adventure :)
