 	for both instances would be removed. Rather than deal with two copies
 	of the same plugin, it is easier and cleaner to only handle one.
 
+	Sometimes it's necessary to link a plugin with libraries other than the
+	ones needed for GTK. Before, it was necessary to modify the Makefile to
+	do so (which was usually messy since it's generated by GNU automake).
+	Now, you can simply set the environment variable PLUGIN_LIBS to be the
+	extra libraries you want to link in. For example, to link plugin.c with
+	the math library, you can run the command
+	PLUGIN_LIBS=-lm make plugin.so
+	To link with multiple plugins, make sure to indicate spaces, e.g.
+	PLUGIN_LIBS='-lm -lcrypt' make encrypt.so

 	There is a new event, event_quit, which signifies that gaim has exited
 	correctly (i.e. didn't segfault). Also, after this event is called, all
 	plugins are removed, and their gaim_plugin_remove function is called.
