If someone actually uses caim, please let me know.. but caim compiles fine for me, and DOESN'T WORK.  When I try and sign on I get invalid packet errors, and my screen name doesn't show up on other clients.

This package isn't maintained anymore, and the homepage doesn't exist.  Is there anyone against removing this package from portage?

it seems to be very abandoned, except from another project that is based on caim.

Alright, I've removed it from the tree.. the guy who added it is long gone... and so is the upstream webpage..
