[IRCServices] Unreal with NICKCHARS support (from CVS)

[Craig McLure]

Can i remind you that Unreal3.2.3 isn't officially released yet, your 
choice to use a currently not complete CVS version is your own.

Services support for this will come in time, when Andy is ready 
(probably when 3.2.3 is finally released, and the featureset finalised).

But don't expect Services to support CVS builds untill then (A _LOT_ of 
things can change, if andy releases a version of services now, and 
'NICKCHARS', or one of the other features gets removed for whatever 
reason, that means another release of services.

Also, pre-emptive support for Unreals new protocols _may_ break the 
support for the current official release, which is ill-advised imo.
