I think the quickest way to get ekiga to MacOSX for those that want it
is via a gtk/gstreamer version of it when ekiga can finally make use
of gstreamer. There is quite a bit of development of gtk and gstreamer
on OSX. Once the bugs in gstreamer are fixed which in turn allows
ekiga to use it I think it would be then a matter of recompile and
fixes for OSX as audio/video input/output can make use of the
quicktime support in gstreamer. Same might apply for the windows port
as apps like songbird are now moving to gtk/gstreamer on all 3 main
platforms.
