+libPurple core-answerscripts plugin
+       Framework for hooking scripts to received messages for various libpurple clients
+
+This simple plugin just passes every single message received by any libPurple-based client (pidgin,finch) to sript(s) in user's home directory... So you can add various hooks to your pidgin or finch without need of writing and compiling own C plugin or messing with buggy perl plugin and restarting client after each change in plugin.
+
+There are already few sample (answer)scripts in purple directory, so you can check how easy it is to write some script for pidgin or finch...
+
+
+The libpurple header files are needed to compile the plugin.
+
+Building & installation:
+
+To build and install :
+       You can compile the plugin using
+       $ make
+       and install it with
+       $ make install
+       This will install it in ~/.purple/plugins so that only the user who install it can use it.
+       $ make user
+       Install main script and sample answerscripts to ~/.purple/answerscripts.d/
+
+To install it for everybody on your computer,
+       $ make
+       $ su
+       # make install PREFIX="/path/to/pidgin" (this command as root user)
+       generally /path/to/pidgin is /usr or /usr/local. If you don't know the path then you can find out using
+       $ whereis pidgin
+       and look for the part before "/lib/pidgin".
