+Skype Protocol - Maybe we can call it beta now? ;)
+
+As so many people requested it, here is now a implementation of the Skype
+protocol for Miranda IM.
+Note, that this is just a wrapper for the Skype-API, which means that Skype
+has to be running while you use this plugin.
+The plugin should be able to launch Skype, if it is not running on startup.
+Please note, that I never coded a protocol-plugin for Miranda before, so
+expect it to be buggy and unstable, I hope I have some time to correct the
+severest bugs and to add more features soon.
+No warranty, whatsoever! I suggest that you back up your existing Miranda
+Database before using this plugin, just to be sure you have a backup if
+it runs amok ;-) Feel free to improve the ugly sourcecode.
+Please give me feedback, if it works for you, it would be interesting.
+
+NOTES - READ THEM CAREFULLY!
+----------------------------
+
+  * You need Skype 1.0.0.97 or above in order to have access to the Skype API 
+  * You have to manually disable popup of messages in SKYPE, as there is
+    currently no function in the API to do this
+    Got to File/Options/Short messages and disable the checkboxes there
+    Otherwise you would get all Skype-Messages twice (in Skype AND Miranda)
+  * If you always get "Unknown event" when a call is incoming and you are using
+    the NewEventNotify-plugin or Tabsrmm then go to the plugin's options 
+    (Sessions / Event Notifications / Announce events of type) and disable 
+    "other events" there.
+  * Importing history for a contact can be launched by clickting "import History"
+    in the context menu of a contact. The importing takes place in the background.
+    AS soon, as it's finished, you will be notified by a messagebox.
+    This feature is still buggy and quite a bit unpredictable.
+  * There is a nice Iconset with the original Skype-Icons created by X-Byte
+    Thanks for that. Grab it at http://dose.0wnz.at/Skype/Skype_icons.zip 
+  * Skype API bug: When you set Skype offline via API, the contacts stay online
+    I made a Miranda-sie workaround for this now, but it's a Skype-API bug,
+    not a plugin-bug
+  * Skype API bug: when you rename Skypeout-contacts in Skype, their new nicks
+    aren't sent correctly via the API, instead, the previous nick is sent and
+    therefore the Miranda-name is not up-to-date after nick change.
+    This is not a plugin bug either.
+BUGS
+----
+
+ * To track bugs, you have to make a Debug-Build out from the source.
+   The plugin then will log the Skype-API communication to a logfile
+   called skype_log.txt so that we may se what caused the crash.
