[IRCServices] using the xml module for data bases

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, In the services documentation the documentation for the data bases 
section says that it still needs to be completed.  It would be nice if even 
in the testing version that section was written.  Just thought I would point 
that out so it could be worked on for the next version.
