* Off-the-Record messaging support for the BitlBee IM gateway
This is an otr-enabled branch of the mainline BitlBee development version.
Its development was kindly funded by stonedcoder.org.
Note: You need at least libotr version 3.1.0.
I sync it with the upstream sources periodically, but don't expect every change
to show up immediately. ;) Patches are obviously welcome.
To get it, you have the following options:
1. Check out the repository. For this you need the Bazaar version control
system. Use the following command:
bzr checkout http://code.khjk.org/bitlbee-otr
It will create a directory called 'bitlbee-otr' containing the sources.
There, call ./configure && make && make install as usual.
Nota bene: You won't see anything if you follow the above URL with your
web browser. Don't worry, that's normal for bzr repos. They are meant to be
accessed only via the bzr command line tool.
2. Download the snapshot tarball. I'll try to keep this up-to-date with the
repository. If in doubt, fall back to method 1, please.
http://khjk.org/prj/bitlbee-otr/bitlbee-otr-snapshot.tar.gz
3. Browse the contents of the tarball on-line.

Usage is pretty straightforward: In the spirit of OTR, things should start
working automagically. To learn how to manage keys and fingerprints, display
the otr status, etc., type help otr in the control channel. Also try set and
look for otr-related config settings.
