 ngIRCd Release 17

+  - Xcode builds: detect version number correctly, updateed project file
+    to use the Mac OS X 10.5.x SDK, disable pam_fail_delay() because it
+    is only available starting with Mac OS X 10.6, and generate a default
+    PAM configuration for the Mac OS X Installer.app package of ngIRCd.
+  - Debian: updated standards version to 3.9.1, added libpam0g-dev to the
+    dependencies, and install a default /etc/pam.d/ngircd allowing all logins.
+  - Make contrib/platformtest.sh more portable.
+  - Fix connect attempts to further IP addresses of outgoing server links.
