-Just some tips if you're going to help with HexChat code (patches etc):
-
-* Use tabs, not spaces, to indent code.
-
-* Use a tab size of 3 (most editors will let you choose this).
-  Type :set ts=3 in vim/gvim.
-
-* Try to stick to the same consistant coding style:
-
-void
-routine (void)
-{
-	if (function (a, b, c))
-	{
-		x = a + 1;
-	}
-}
-
-	(vertically aligned braces, a space after if, while, functions etc).
-
-* Don't use "//" C++ style comments, some compilers don't like them.
-
-* When opening a file with unix level functions (open, read/write, close)
-  as opposed to the C-level functions (fopen, fwrite/fread, fclose), use
-  the OFLAGS macro. This makes sure it'll work on Win32 aswell as unix e.g:
-
-	fh = open ("file", OFLAGS | O_RDONLY);
-
-* Use closesocket() for sockets, and close() for normal files.
-
-* Don't read() from sockets, instead use recv().
-
-* Please provide unified format diffs (run diff -u).
-
-* Call your patch something more meaningfull than hexchat.diff (I get a
-  million of these files!).
-
-* To make a really nice and clean patch, do something like this:
-
-Have two directories, unpacked from the original archive:
-hexchat-2.0.0/
-hexchat-2.0.0p1/
-Then edit/compile the hexchat-2.0.0p1 directory. When you're done, make
-a patch with:
-
-cd hexchat-2.0.0p1
-make distclean
-cd ..
-diff -urN hexchat-2.0.0 hexchat-2.0.0p1 > hexchat-something.diff
-
-If using nmake (Windows) replace "make distclean" with "nmake -f makefile.msc clean"
