Subject: [PATCH] Version update. Hexchat bug fix/workaround, worked around dev
 decision to start popping up a gtk dialogue when running hexchat -v or
 --version command.

Now reads the actual user config files, hopefully anyway. Since trusting config files that are in the user
~./hexchat directory for version information is quite unreliable, this is just a quick hack, but that's fine,
inxi is always happy to hack around bad developer ideas to provide the most accurate, or best guess, at the
answer.
