That's not the answer.  Really, everyone needs to move away from Skype
altogether.  Use Blink.  It is a superior client and it uses SIP
rather than Skype's network.  Making a FreeBSD port of it has been on
my list of things to do for quite a while, I just haven't had the
time.

If you want to check it out you can find it here:
http://devel.ag-projects.com/repositories/blink-qt/

It is written in Python, and it is GPL.  There is a MacOS binary and a
Windows binary download of it on their website.
