Comment 4 for bug 662069

I don't think, but skype will release soon a new skype API, which goal is exactly this : being able to adapt any interface very easyly on Skype. Actually, it exists skypeforpidgin, but it required skype to be started, with the usual interface. The new API will permit any interface to use skype functionalities, without having the whole skype client installed. It's actually in a closed beta state, but should be released very soon.
