[IRCServices] Unreal with NICKCHARS support (from CVS)

RFCs 2810, 2811, 2812 and 2813 are specific to certain ircds, for
example ircd2.9, which is used by ircnet. If IRCServices was to support
all of these extra RFCs it would not work with the majority of ircds
available as 99% of these ircds do not support them either. If i
remember correctly only UTF-8 is supported by irc, which is why people
have problems understanding concepts like 'irc cant do unicode, stop
sending chinese characters' :P

Thanks,
Brain
