How feasable would it be to add SOCKS/WinGate checking as an option to
Services?  I am aware many ircds support this, but I am of the feeling that
waiting for ident checks takes long enough, and making clients wait for a
SOCKS check takes even longer, especially on hosts (@Home) which firewall
the SOCKS port and fail to return a RST packet.  This would allow the majority
of good users to connect while a SOCKS check would be done in the background.
