I've removed the pot from the "xchat" directory and made this change to
the INFO file in that directory:


--- INFO	2001/01/09 12:06:11	1.7
+++ INFO	2001/10/27 11:00:11

-RELEASE: 1.6.2
+This directory is for the unstable/development branch of xchat.
+Currently there is no such branch, so please use the "xchat-stable"
+directory instead.
