-Skype needs QT, so you'll have that installed (QT is part of 
-the slackware distribution)
+This SlackBuild allows to build both 1.3 and 1.4 versions of
+Skype.
 
-Please note that the mirror from which we download skype is not
-skype.com. This is due to the fact that skype has removed any
-and all support to skype-1.3.x in lieu of skype-1.4.x which is 
-QT4 based.

+Skype 1.3 needs QT3, so you'll have that installed (QT3 is
+part of the slackware distribution).
+Skype 1.4 needs libsigcxx (libsigc++), available on both 
+SlackBuilds.org and linuxpackages.net).
+
+Since Skype 1.4 is QT4-based, to keep dependencies at a
+minimum the linked file is a static build, and is twice as
+large as the 1.3 version, which is instead a dinamically
+built QT3-based package.
+The Skype 1.3 mirror is
