Well, they have a .tgz, but it sure isn't source. That's just about the
worst way to distribute it.
Had they released the source itself I might end up in gaim itself. Thus
to help promote their own application.

Their chat application is going to use 'jingle' for video/audio chat,
which is great as jingle is open source, thus making it a workable
application for multiple platforms.
No one, absolutely no one chats via wine. That's just freaking stupid.
Although I have wine installed, it's never run. I think the last
accessed bytes on those binaries is something like last year.
