Ok this "mystery" is solved as I only just realised that the package being
downloaded is pre-compiled binary and not source that was further being
compiled. The skypopen library was but not the actual Skype binary. So
there you go!

Now, is this a stupid question or can I get a hold of the actual source of
the Skype client so I can try and compile this on my platform?

Thanks so much
