[IRCServices Coding] Services 5.0 alpha 16 released

[Andrew Church]

     Services 5.0 alpha 16 has been released at the usual place.  This
release is mainly to take care of a whole bunch of FIXMEs in the code; I'll
get to the recent suggestions and stuff soon.  Also, I'd like to get this
as stable as possible before releasing a beta version; please let me know
of any problems ASAP.
