[IRCServices] 4.5.0pre0 ?

[Strider]

I don't put alpha releases on the main ports, heh. I keep that stuff to a
port that none of the users know about without me knowing as well, which
would require a port scan, which in turn would make them innaccessible to
the server after that, heh. Anyways, I just updated the ircd and services,
put the up on a test port and told all the opers to break it. We're good
with reporting bugs so if we find any, we'll report them. Just ask stskeeps
;)
