Don't support "range marching" in our pattern matching code using
the "[...]" syntax, because [ and ] are valid characters in nick
names and one has to quote them currently using the "\" character,
which is quite unexpected. For example:
Nick "te[st" => "MODE #channel +b te\[st"
And remove quoting altogether, too, because "*" and "?" don't need
to be quoted because these characters are not allowed in IRC masks,
nicks, and hostnames.

Now you can call platformtest.sh using its complete path name from an
other directory which is then used for building.
See <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/VPATH-Builds.html>
Please not that the build system itself is still (re-)genrated in the
original source tree. This can be avoided by passing the "-x" switch to
the platformtest.sh script.
According to RFC 2812 3.2.3 "Channel mode message" and the examples
there, it looks like clients should use "MODE -k <key>" to unset channel
keys; and that's how other servers and services behave and do expect it.
(But please note that this is NOT the case for "MODE -l"!)
In the end, it doesn't make sense to specify a key when UNsetting it at
all, and different services behave diffrently when clients do not send
the currently set key to unset it - some ignore such calls, for example!
But this implementation is quite relaxed, it accepts any key when
unsetting channel mode "k" and even accepts no key at all. But the reply
will always include an "*" character for every "-k" parameter.
C99 states that vsnprintf() "returns the number of characters that
would have been printed if the n were unlimited"; but according to the
Linux manual page "glibc until 2.0.6 would return -1 when the output
was truncated" -- so we have to handle both cases ...
We already require GNU autoconf 2.67 for generating our build system (at
least this is what the INSTALL document states), so update the build system
accordingly and implement all changes that autoupdate(1) suggests:
- Update AC_PREREQ and AC_INIT
- Use AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_RUN_IFELSE, and AC_COMPILE_IFELSE
- Remove AC_TYPE_SIGNAL (we don't use RETSIGTYPE)
Test functions snprintf(), strlcpy(), strlcat(), vsnprintf() for
correctness, not only existance (which was quite useless, because
if they weren't available, the program could not have been linked
at all ...).
The new configuration variable "Network" is used to set the (completely
optional) "network name", to which this instance of the daemon belongs.
When set, this name is used in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric which is sent to
all clients connecting to the server after logging in.
Closes bug #165.
When DNS lookups are disabled, don't set the hostname received by the
WEBIRC command, but use the IP address instead.

Closes bug #167.
At least AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1 have a broken implementation of getaddrinfo()
which doesn't handle "0" as numeric service correctly. This patch adds
a configure check for this case and changes all calling functions to only
use getaddrinfo() if it "works".
See <http://www.stacken.kth.se/lists/heimdal-discuss/2004-05/msg00059.html>
Increase the penalty for a command before checking its arguments. This
makes the handling more consistent and allow us to move more penalties to
Handle_Request().
This fixes the following error when compiling without zlib support:
irc.c: In function ‘Option_String’:
irc.c:487: error: ‘options’ undeclared (first use in this function)
