mmhhh... you think so? I'm afraid this is simply not going to happen
any time soon. The please-make-ppc-build thread on skype's forum
started on 2004 and there is no sign whatsoever the company is putting
any effort in it :(

As of today, there are no defined plans to make Skype for Linux
available on other architectures.

I even tried to install mol (mac on linux) on my iBook G4 and run MAC
OS X version on it, but currently mol has no support for recording:
that is no microphone, so it's useless :(

Seems like we ppc guys must wait till some smart hacker
reverse-engineers the protocol (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_Protocol)
