Subject:    a patch for cropping tab texts

I made this patch ages ago (= month). It crops the tab texts if they
exceed magic 10 char limit, so "#1234567890" would be shortened to
"#1234567..".

Here's a screenshot (16KB):

I needed this feature because I had a sh*tload of different networks and
channels in same xchat-client, and it was rather difficult to browse them.

There isn't any setting to switch this feature on/off yet, though it would
be easy to implement. I don't mind if someone else wants to sacrifice a
couple minutes for this ;) (I don't personally need the on/off switch)

Oh, one more thing, to get the most out of this patch, use the "order
tabs" patch announced in this list couple months ago.
