Skype on RPi

I was curious if there was a way to get Skype running on the Raspberry Pi--as a way of cobbling together a video call box.  Apparently it's possible to make voice calls (with the original forum post) using the binaries in the Skype developer's kit ($5 fee required), but there's no video support.  Somewhat of a bummer, but not entirely unexpected.  Perhaps Google Chat will come out with video support for the RPi since Microsoft has little incentive to port Skype video.
