Well.... I locked trough the source code and it seems to me that it is 
impossible to do what I would like.... The informations I want are
kept by xchat in struct xchatpref prefs variabel (xchat.c line 68),
which is not accessible in perl.c. It follows that perl has no way to
access it... 

Should I try to modify perl.c adding a new perl-function
such as IRC::get_prefs like IRC::get_info but giving access to field
in prefs variable? Or are the people in the developpement team already 
doing this?

If I'm going to do this I need answers to the following questions:

  1. which fields of prefs are people interested in? I only feel the
     need for preferred nickname(s), but other people may need
     something like realname, username and so on...
  2. Once this is done, what do I do? Do I send the diff file to
     someone?
