Problems found with existing distfiles:
distfiles/icb-5.0.9.tar.gz
distfiles/icb.2.1.4.tar.Z
distfiles/zenicb-19981202.tar.gz
No changes made to these /distinfo files.
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
Added missing %s conversion specifier to RPL_MODLIST. Now /modlist shows
up whether or not a module is resident
Fixed bug in find_conf_exact() which sometimes made CHALLENGE useless
Added ircd-italian.lang language file

- We have mostly revamped the Windows Cygwin port
- The IRIX port has been brought up to date
- The HPUX port has been retested and minor warnings have been fixed
- The configure script has been massively revamped
- Most noticeable is that we generate make dependencies on the fly now
- We now use our own .lang files to provide translated numeric messages
- IPv6 support is now automatically enabled/disabled
- Cryptlinks now use Nagle's TCP_NODELAY algorithm
- X-line (gecos ban) support has been added
- Nick and channel RESVs are now stored in nresv.conf and cresv.conf
