Just copy the existing code and make it so it doesn't parse mode changes.
What good do they do, though? The problems I have had with modeless channels have to do with the fact that there is no moderation or enforcement system for them, and not with the code impact. If you have a combative userbase, chanops need some way to remove obnoxious users. If your users are responsible and at least mostly get along together, much of an ircd's code is overkill, and you would have a nicer feature set using Zephyr (or Jabber or whatever) instead. Entrope
