Update Information:

Upstream released Bitlbee 1.2.2 with the following changes to the former
release:    - Security bugfix: It was possible to hijack accounts (without
gaining access to the old account, it's simply an overwrite)  - Some more
stability improvements.  - Fixed bug where people with non-lowercase nicks
couldn't drop their account.  - Easier upgrades of non-forking daemon mode
servers (using the DEAF command).  - Can be cross-compiled for Win32 now! (No
support for SSL yet though, which makes it less useful for now.)  - Exponential
backoff on auto-reconnect.  - Changing passwords gives less confusing feedback
("password is empty") now.    Finished 26 Aug 2008
