Needs Qt 1.40+, KDE 1.0+, icqlib 0.1.3+

DESCRIPTION
-----------
kicq is an ICQ (I seek you) client. It's beta code and you may use it at
your own risk. This program was made without any help from Mirabilis or
there consent. Not reverse engineering or decompilation of any Mirabilis
code took place to make this program.

DOWNLOAD
--------
Home page:

Direct download:
      http://www.cn.ua/~denis/kde/kicq-0.3.0.tar.gz
      ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/apps/network/kicq-0.3.0.tar.gz

INSTALL
-------
This is very basic:
      ./configure
      make
      su -c "make install"

If you want to install in other place:
      ./configure --prefix=/place/to/install/kicq
      make
      make install

You should have permissions to write in /place/to/install/kicq or should
install it from root:
      su -c "make install"

If configure can't find icqlib includes/libraries:
      ./configure --with-icq-includes=/path/to/icqlib/include
                  --with-icq-libraries=/path/to/icqlib/lib
      make
      make install

If you don't have root permissions you should install kicq like this:
1. Install icqlib
      ./configure --prefix=/home/user/icq
      make
      make install
2. Install kicq
      ./configure --with-icq-includes=/home/user/icq/include
                  --with-icq-libraries=/home/user/icq/lib
		  --prefix=/home/user/icq
      make
      make install
3. Move /home/user/icq/share/* to /home/user/.kde/share/*
4. Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/user/icq/lib
5. Now you can run kicq from /home/user/icq/bin

For more details read INSTALL file.

BUGS
----
- blocking gethostbyname() system call, try to use IP address
  instead of hostname (icq1.mirabilis.com = 204.91.243.41)

If you find one that isn't listed, let me know.  And if you have a fix
for it, so much the better!
