Checking the cvs, it was disabled here. Grrrr.

I changed some zephyr stuff. I think it's funny. I made the get info
box not show "Alias: (null)" for people without aliases, which I guess
will fix a crash bug with zephyr on solaris, maybe. And I also
gettexticised some strings.
I thought I'd mention this in the change log because it's funny (that
zephyr still exists). And to anyone who's wondering, NC State does have
a zephyr realm set up, but not many people use it.
I also mentioned the ICQ authorization thing. I figure some
peeps might care. I bet the Care Bears care.

I found the _real_ problem here. Sometime in the past few releases of
debian, libkrb5-dev has come to depend on comerr-dev , which includes
its own com_err.h that gets included before gaim's own com_err.h. I
sent in a bug report and patch here
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=807865&group_id=235&atid=100235
gaim really shouldn't be including it's own libzephyr and
comerr. Grrr.
