Am I missing something? I didn't notice a Hebrew patch to licq announced in
this list recently...

Or are you talking about the faq in http://www.iglu.org.il/faq/cache/120.html?
I don't know who wrote this section (perhaps Tzafrir can say), but it
appears that "Re'em Benshimon" himself wrote this section, in which he
explains that there already exists Hebrew support inside licq (he never
claims to have written it!) but says it is somewhat buggy, so he provides
of a bugfix. Apparently he puts his name at the end because he wrote this
faq section.

If this bug is already fixed in the latest licq, then most of that
faq section should be removed, living only the #define USE_HEBREW 1
explanation. You're right that your name should probably be mentioned in
the FAQ too, although you can put your name in the code itself, like
  /* Hebrew support by Jacob Shapiro: */
  /* Define this if hebrew reverse string support is desired */
  /* #undef USE_HEBREW */

Anyway, thanks for your contribution!
