 Hi,

 Because directories where finch installs its contents/libraries are
 different on every distributions we can't make a config file portable.

 What I mean is the "wm = /directory/to/lib/irssi.so" for example in the
 config file. So this is not portable if I want to use my config on other
 distribution I must edit it each time.

 I think we can make something relative when linking/compiling finch, such
 as ${GNTLIBDIR} and then we could use only "wm = irssi.so" in the .gntrc.
