Fw: [cicq] Support the CenterICQ development with a donation

[Raul A. Gallegos]

I thought I'd pass this along in case anyone is interested.  I know I use
centericq quite a bit and will not mind donating some to the project.

> PayPal payment service (http://www.paypal.com), involving my personal
> PayPal account (e-mail address "donation at centericq dot de").

don't

friend.

> Questions and comments welcome.
> Thank you for your time.
