When emerging the package net-im/skype-4.0.0.8-r1, the following elog messages are displayed:

 * For webcam support, see "LD_PRELOAD" section of "README.lib" document provided by

 * You can install app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs package for the 32bit
 * libraries from the media-libs/libv4l package.

Such messages should only be displayed when the package is a new install.
These situations can be checked in the ebuild as follows:

if ! has_version 'net-im/skype'; then

See the tracker bug 440214 for more details.

Additionally, Skype versions before 4.3 can no longer connect.
