>Description:
	devel/nss is not fine. patches tries to fix the problem, that does not.

	I was able to follow the build just dropping the -lplc4 and -lnspr4 on 
	*/config.mk but this is a very ugly solution, because it cannot find the
	external syms.

	BTW i can't understand why chat/gaim depends on nss, ok, it's BSD like
	instead of using gnutls. But I think that this must be defined in options
	or something similar, but force users to use nss, when they can use gnutls
	it's stupid. Look at this output:

pancake@pl2:/usr/pkgsrc$ find .| grep nss| grep buildlink| wc -l
2
pancake@pl2:/usr/pkgsrc$ 

	Few time ago, I sent another PR about gaim integrating the options framework.
