Enable Skype public API for finch

[hrnick]

Hi!

I'm using skype4pidgin in order to have all my IM contacts in one place. I've been trying to make this work with finch as well but haven't succeeded so far.

As far as I can understand I'll need QT-DBus for this to work but I'm not sure on how to enable this (the checkbox is disabled under Public API in Skype preferences). The QT dependencies are not pulled in when I emerge Skype and I can't see any qt use flag to enable either. Emerging the qt dependencies found in the ebuild and then skype doesn't help even though they're runtime dependencies.

I'm running an ~amd64 system, could there be some problem with Skype being 32 bit? Do I need some kind of emulation?

Any help appreciated!
