Hello,

This is a new port for the Hybrid Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server.
The port uses the latest beta release because since this release it is
possible to do secure cryptlink server<->server connections, SSL
client<->server connections, and IPv6 right out of the box.

I've tested the port by creating a small irc net between a i386-current
machine and a sparc64-stable machine which talked to each other over a
secured cryptlink connection.  The client connection to the servers
has been made with SSL enabled xchat (using valid CAcert server
certificates).  Worked very well.

I've replaced all strcpy(3), sprintf(3), and vsprintf(3) except in one
function which I don't want to touch.  The daemon is patched to do
setgid(2) and setuid(2) to _ircdhybrid just after executing.

As this is a beta release, it is not available on sourceforge yet.  The
tarball can be fetched on the Hybrid homepage but as the site is
performing so poor (at least from Switzerland) the fetch aborts mostly.
Therefore I placed a copy of the tarball on my site for now which is
tried by the port at first.

Please test and comment.

Regards,
Marcus
