[IRCServices Coding] 5.0.36 and Unreal

[Andrew Church]

>what about other ircds that use the owner (+q) mode?

     That's the thing--the other two that use it (trircd and PTlink) use
different letters (u and a respectively), and I'm not even sure how the
latter works since PTlink doesn't seem to have a chanprot mode.  With all
these differences in both implementation and usage it's just not worth
dealing with.
