patch enabling /usr/bin/hexchat-text

It is very simple to build also a CLI user interface for hexchat. I wonder whether we want it or not.

It has very little value for users, it is only useful for something like a bot but very few scripts exist for bot like functionality.

At the same time though its of no cost for us it is a very small binary so I'm not sure.

That's exactly the reason why I filed this bug. I am not sure either.

So after thinking it over I've decided against it, hexchat-text is barely supported upstream, full of bugs, and never tested. So us shipping it implies it would be supported in some fashion when it won't be.

Agreed. If there is any cost included in it, it is not worthy.
