Prerequisites
-------------
You will need the ICU Unicode library and it's header files in order to be able
to build Pontarius XMPP. On Debian, you will need to install the *libicu-dev*
package. In Fedora, the package is called *libicu-devel*.
_Note to users of GHC 7.0 and GHC 7.2:_ You will need *cabal-install*, version
*0.14.0* or higher, or the build will fail with an "unrecognized option:
--disable-benchmarks" error. The versions *1.16.0* and higher might not build on
your system; if so, install *0.14.0* with "cabal install cabal-install-0.14.0".
_Note to users of GHC 7.2.1:_ Due to a bug, recent versions of the *binary*
package wont build without running "ghc-pkg trust base".
_Note to users of GHC 7.0.1:_ You will want to configure your Cabal environment
(including *cabal-install*) for version *0.9.2.1* of *bytestring*.
