It used to be a prerequisite for the KTP (KDE chat library) that I'm adding to 
pkgsrc - basically a bridge between libpurple and the KDE stuff via telepathy.

KTP runs without telepathy-haze; but we might lose a lot of supported 
protocols. But yeah, it hasn't been under active development for a while now, 
sadly. 

Given that the package is pretty new to pkgsrc, and I haven't committed the 
KTP bits yet, I suppose we'd best get rid of it: no one will miss it and we 
certainly can't support it...
