There is a new version of ircserv a part of this distribution.
The new ircserv is based on the classic ircserv, but the most
important parts have been ripped out and rewritten from scratch.
This version of ircserv is fundamentally different in how it interacts
with the client, so this ircserv and this client work as a pair:  You
cannot use this ircserv with older clients, and you cannot use older
ircserv's with this client.

The new version has the following characteristics:
 * Always nonblocking -- you can always suspend your client for any 
	amount of time and ircserv will happily sit and talk to the server
	while you are gone and feed you everything when you get back.
 * Never pings out -- ircserv now dynamically buffers incoming data 
	from the server, instead of putting it in a static buffer with 
	preset size.  This allows you to be suspended indefinitely only 
	at the expense of the memory needed to store the information.
 * Since it runs as two processes, the ircserv program does not depend
	upon the ircII client being present or active

Cons:
 * Still requires 2 processes to run, meaning more system resources (CPU
	and disk space) are required to use.

Its your call.  If you have the ram and lots of CPU cycles to burn, 
ircserv is a good win.  If youre tight on memory or on a machine with
lots of other people, its not such a good idea...
