Hello,

Now, as M$ bought Skype, we should stop wining for a native Skype client
for FreeBSD and should prepare us for the time when M$ will "integrate"
Skype into its desktop and stop deliver binaries for Linux;

I have spent some time to get PTlib, Opal and Ekiga compiled directly
from its repositories in SVN and Git, and fixed the bugs to let Ekiga
detect the devices /dev/video0 (created by pwc.ko or webcamd) and 
/dev/dsp* sound devices. The result is documented here:

If someone wants to give me a call at sip:.... at ekiga.net, just contact
me offlist :-)

HIH
