[IRCServices] Feature For Services??

[Strider]

Actually, this can just be thrown in with the Unreal support since most of
the people ont his list with access to the vhost options use Unreal anyways.
As for having plenty of vhosts, our server is small so what I planned to do
is if the feature was implemented, allow users to email suggestions to me
and I could build a list from that, and when 5.0 was released and if it has
the feature, I could set it up with the suggested vhosts that were agreed
upon. As for allowing a custom vhost set by the users, that would never work
because we have better things to do than to watch for what vhost someone
makes up.
