 Hello. Today I want to share my patches that will add support for Gadu-
 Gadu 8.0 protocol with features like:
 * UTF8 support
 * New DND status
 * Length of statuses increased to 1024 bytes
 * Many bugfixes

 It needs to patch internal libgadu library included in Pidgin to 1.9.0 but
 I made that. All other changes I made too so we have teoretically full-
 featured GG 8.0 protocol support (just without audio/video, graphical
 descriptions and other strange stuff) but I'm not sure it can be compiled
 in Windows now and other change is that I need to add to configure script
 something like "if libgadu version is lower that 1.9.0 then use integral
 libgadu from Pidgin sources". Is that possible? And could anyone test
 compilation with my patches on Windows?
