+Ekiga (formely known as GnomeMeeting) is an open source VoIP and
+video conferencing application for GNOME. Ekiga uses both the H.323
+and SIP protocols. It supports many audio and video codecs, and is
+interoperable with other SIP compliant software and also with
+Microsoft NetMeeting.
+
+This package will be built without gnome support. This breaks the
+Help button, which probably needs the Gnome help system.
+
+The following options, all disabled by default, are supported. Just
+set any of them to "yes" to enable the corresponding feature:
+- AVAHI (requires avahi)
+- GCONF (requires GConf)
+- GDU (requires gnome-doc-utils)
+- KDE (experimental KDE support)
+- KAB (experimental KAddressBook support)
+- GS (experimental GStreamer support)
+
+Ekiga requires libsigc++, ptlib, and opal, also available on
+SlackBuilds.org.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
+# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
+# leave one space after the ':'.
