[JDEV] Questions on groupchat and yahoo transport..

[Robin Elliott Stevenson]

I would be very interested in trying to compile both the yahoo-transport and
the irc-transport with socks.  I have access to both a socks4 and socks5
server, and would be willing to test some stuff for you.  However, I don't
use C, so I could use a little guidance.  Could you tell me what I need to
do to compile the  yahoo-transport with the -DHAVE_SOCKS4 flag?
