Hi Thomas,

I use libotr for the Miranda (http://miranda-im.org) OTR plugin, and I build
it on a windows machine using mingw.

I've already had to patch the library because of some of the text inside it
- specifically, Miranda does not handle HTML in message windows and some of
the messages from the library contained HTML.

There are other bits of text in the library, which could use some
internationalization. Do you have any plans to go that far? If so, am I
going to need to build more gnu libraries under windows? It's already quite
a nightmare to build if you don't cross compile from a linux machine.

Also, Miranda already contains its own simple but quite effective
translation machanism. Would it be possible to use callback functions or
similar to allow applications using the library to do their own translation?

Scott
