tags 391242 +patch thanks. making this build against 2.0.0beta3.1 in my sid chroot was pretty easy, i just nicked some headers that are no longer in the official public interface of gaim from the gaim source package (yes eliminating the dependance on non public interfaces is a good move long term but i'm not enough of an expert to do that), renamed them made some minor tweaks to use them and it built.
actually making the patch work with the build system was easier said than done but now its done just add it to the debian/patches dir to use it. i installed the package and gaim recognised it and gave me a rvp option in the accounts dialog. I can't test beyond that because i don't have a suitable server to use it with.
