[chirp_users] Which version do I really have?

[Don Brett]

I agree, if it works, just use it.  But I assumed the newer versions would
have an occasional bug fix or new features, so I wanted to keep up with the
latest.  Also, I'm new to chirp, so was concerned that something went wrong
with the installation.  I had some problems installing, so I wasn't sure if
all went as well as I thought.
