Known Issues
------------
Besides the issues known for the SILC Client and the SILC Toolkit, these
additional problems are known to exist with the SILC Plugin:

- Makefile support for *BSD operating systems is still lousy

- Didicating windows in your layout to SILC doesn't work yet, since the
  SILC protocol isn't known to Irssi at the time the layout is loaded

- There are still several messages print to stderr instead of Irssi's
  log window

- Signed messages do not correctly open a new query window
