"finch" is the name of Pidgin's console ui version.
(Pidgin's homepage: http://www.pidgin.im/)
Using Pidgin (formerly GAIM) in text-mode is so cool.
There is a strong resemblance to the gtk ui!

- Mouse-clicking also works.

Screenshots of Finch's window (in Aterm):

Accounts
Buddy List
Buddy Pounces
Debug Window
File Transfers

Preferences
Saved Statuses

Everything!

'finch.uci' is 846K, and needs 'libxml2.dsl' (357K).
I think I will submit these soon, after some testing.

3 cheers for Pidgin developers!!!

Ouch. That's big for a naim replacement. I've also used pork and cicq, the latter also being hefty while the former is lighter and has a familiar feel for epic/bitchx/ircII fans. Does finch support gaim-/pidgin-encryption?

Yes. There is a choice of either GnuTLS or NSS. I used NSS since it already comes with Firefox (/usr/local/firefox/libnss3.so).
$CFLAGS: -Os
$LDFLAGS: -Wl,-rpath,/opt/finch/lib:/usr/local/firefox
