Cool, I'm now able to see in the package listing.

I really wanted to have it that way. But libyahoo2 authors asked us
to include libyhaoo2 into the source and thats how they themselves do
with GTKYahoo. I was not able to keep track of libyahoo2 versioning
and simply obeyed their wishes ;)

If you say yes, I will remove libyahoo2 from the source.

Regards.
Gopal.
