Sorry I should really have stated the intention here explicitly. 
gaim-gaym has been broken for *far* too long, but at the same time it 
wasn't truly orphaned.  Given the unusual circumstances I had to take 
this unusual measure which did do the right thing when repo was built 
again... but it was wrong of me to not say anything about it.
