 Excellent, I'll fix that then.

 It's statically linked within cabextract and wine so it doesn't get
 deployed in most dists as a separate target. The only way I can figure to
 do this without the awkward dep is:
  * include the library in our tree (waste of space - it's bigger than it
 needs to be)
  * hack the required code straight in (It's only ~200 lines, but I think
 that would contravene their license)
  * exec cabextract if that's there, which is probably uglier than the dep.

 My feeling is that it's easy to package for windows, reasonably easy for
 people who are building themselves to satisfy the dep if they want it, and
 the #ifdefs mean that binary builds will just not contain the code at all
 (unless any of the distros get bored and decide to package mspack I
 guess). Don't know how that plays with anybody else

 On the subject of voiceclip: uris. I guess it could be done in half a
 dozen lines (check for URI starting voiceclip:, grab following filename,
 purple_sound_play_file it). Is it likely to be acceptable to just put this
 directly into purple_handle_uri before the call to ui_ops?
