Sorry Patrick, but our govco snoops have been bragging they have skype 
decoded now for about 2 years.  And I assume skype has been changing things 
too, but whatever one group can do, another group can undo.  Its just the 
nature of the internet for that to happen.  I don't have the talent to decode 
it, but there are plenty who do.
