Alexander Barton 2d35731399 GnuTLS: use 1024 (DH_BITS_MIN) as minimum size of the DH prime 
For outgoing connections, we use 2048 (DH_BITS) since commit 49b2d0e.

This patch enables ngIRCd to accept incoming connections from other servers
and clients that use at least 1024 bits (and no longer requires 2048 for
incoming connections, too).

Patch proposed by Florian Westphal.

I. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ngIRCd is an Open Source server for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC), which
is developed and published under the terms of the GNU General Public
Licence (URL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html). ngIRCd means "next
generation IRC daemon", it's written from scratch and not deduced from the
"grandfather of IRC daemons", the daemon of the IRCNet.

Please see the INSTALL document for installation and upgrade information!


II. Status
~~~~~~~~~~~

It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviours of the
original ircd, but to implement most of the useful commands and semantics
specified by the RFCs.

In the meantime ngIRCd should be quite feature complete and stable to be
used in real IRC networks.

Implemented IRC-commands are:

ADMIN, AWAY, CHANINFO, CONNECT, DIE, DISCONNECT, ERROR, HELP, INFO, INVITE,
ISON, JOIN, KICK, KILL, LINKS, LIST, LUSERS, MODE, MOTD, NAMES, NICK, NJOIN,
NOTICE, OPER, PART, PASS, PING, PONG, PRIVMSG, QUIT, REHASH, RESTART, SERVER,
SERVICE, SERVLIST, SQUERY, SQUIT,  STATS, SUMMON, TIME, TOPIC, TRACE, USER,
USERHOST, USERS, VERSION, WALLOPS, WEBIRC, WHO, WHOIS, WHOWAS.


III. Features (or: why use ngIRCd?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- no problems with servers which have dynamic IP addresses
- simple, easy understandable configuration file,
- freely published open-source C source code,
- ngIRCd will be developed on in the future.
- wide field of supported platforms, including AIX, A/UX, FreeBSD, HP-UX,
  IRIX, Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Windows with Cygwin.


IV. Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More documentation can be found in the "doc/" directory and the homepage of
the ngIRCd: <http://ngircd.barton.de/>.


V. Download
~~~~~~~~~~~

The homepage of the ngIRCd is: <http://ngircd.barton.de/>; you will find
the newest information about the ngIRCd and the most recent ("stable")
releases there.

If you are interested in the latest development versions (which are not
always stable), then please read the section about "GIT" on the homepage and
the file "doc/GIT.txt" which describes the use of GIT, the version control
system used by ngIRCd (homepage: http://git.or.cz/).


VI. Bugs
~~~~~~~~

If you find bugs in the ngIRCd (which might be there :-), please report
them at the following URL:

<http://ngircd.barton.de/bugtracker.php>

There you can read about known bugs and limitations, too.

If you have critics, patches or something else, please feel free to post a
mail to the ngIRCd mailing list: <ngircd-ml@arthur.ath.cx> (please see
