If i want to install xchat-ssl or xchat it needs ALOT of packages:
Does it really need all that? It seems a bit bloated and overkill to me to install all that just to have xchat.. 
I downloaded xchat from forked.net and it was only a few mbs and works fine.. only thing is that i also want to connect to ssl servers..
I also tried to compile it but it bitched about some libraries...
