i just noticed that if you install extra/tcl version 8.5.8-1 the
problem disappears. so now i wonder why tcl is not a required
dependency of xchat.

pacman -Si xchat and note the optional dependencies

i'm new to archlinux and i may be wrong, but i think that tcl
should be a required package, not an optional one, because
otherwise an error is produced (althought xchat runs just fine).
another option would be to provide /usr/lib/xchat/plugins/tcl.so
(and the other plugins) as separate packages. for example,
xchat-tcl may depend on both xchat and tcl.

that's how we handle optional dependencies around here and
splitting xchat for every single plugin is out of the question.
