	That would be a lot of work, and subject to Skype altering
with the protocol and various	internal bits.
	Last time this came around on the gee-tar, I believe the root
problem was higher versions don't work with the Linux emulation
code.  Improving that would also be a lot of work (probably
involving different skills) ... but would benefit all programs that
run under emulation.
