Please review wip/sim-qt and wip/sim-kde

[Ian Zagorskih <ianzag%megasignal.com@localhost>]

Hey all,

Please review sim-qt and sim-kde packages. Both are derived from Simple 
Instant Messenger (SIM) :

http://sim-icq.sourceforge.net/

I'm using both qt and kde packages on NetBSD/i386 -current + KDE 3.3.x during 
the last month and both looks to be running just fine, [almost] without 
crashes or errors. Would be really great if this package was commited into 
pkgsrc. There are not so many stable ICQ clients there ATM so let's add one 
more :)

[imho]
Finally i found a GUI ICQ/Jabber client that *actually* works on NetBSD :)

licq-qt failed to start with core dump and nobody cares about it for a long 
time. Looks like it's dead :(

kopete from KDE is fune but it has weird and naughty problems with 
UTF/codepage convertions and completely unusable for me in non-english 
speaking environemnt. Bug report at bugs.kde.org has been hangung there for a 
year and nobody cares :(

centericq is weird :)

Cannot say anything about gaim.
