Therefore a dependency only to libpurple, and not to pidgin, is included. If I 
remember correctly, with the older versions, it did refused to compile when 
spectrum was unable to find libpurple. I don't know which transports need 
libpurple, and which need poco.
I tried with ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, which worked for me.
