The other mirrors should have it shortly.

     This fixes the crash reported recently.  It also breaks the rule I
made about not making any additions to Services... well, not technically,
since it's a removal rather than an addition, but in any case the AUTODEOP
and NOJOIN levels have been bothering me for quite a while, since they're
also affected by the SECUREOPS and RESTRICTED channel options.  This made
the logic complicated and the explanations confusing, so I removed the
AUTODEOP and NOJOIN levels entirely--they're now fixed at -1 and -100
respectively (the SECUREOPS and RESTRICTED options still function the same
way).  I hope this doesn't bother too many people, but please feel free to
comment (and let me know if I broke anything).
