IMfuckingPORTANT: DO NOT fucking RUN THIS PROGGY FROM SHELL,
                  IN IS MADE TO BE LAUNCHED FROM INETD ONLY!!!

---

NOTES:
      - requires 68020+/os2.04+/1 meg+/ixemul48+/ixnet48+/amitcp30b2+
        and of course some irc client.

      - flavours:
        ;
        !(libglib-2.0, needs 'libiconv.ixlibrary'
        bitlbee-[ssl-glib-iconv]        = full version(all protocols, full 'iconv')
        ;
        !(libglib-2.0, needs 'libiconv_cr.ixlibrary')
        bitlbee-[nossl-glib-iconv_cr]   = no ssl and msn
        bitlbee-[j-nossl-glib-iconv_cr] = no ssl and only jabber
        ;
        !(libglib-2.0, no 'iconv' support)
        bitlbee-[j-nossl-glib]         = no ssl and only jabber

      - if u decide to build with 'libevent' u need to know that many
        things in this library relies on Unix features that are not
        implemented in 'ixemul'. but if this is not an argument look at this:
        '[] [ERR] evsignal_init: socketpair: Protocol family not supported' =]

      - in 'chunks/' you will find stuff that required modifications +
        small, crappy, stinky, ugly library(i call it that coz the funcs
        it contain should be already in 'libc'!!!) that provides 
        'inet_pton()' and 'inet_ntop()' pair for use with IPv4. 
        please note that im not the author of these routines, 
        a guy named 'Luise' is, i just built the library
        adding some essential lines to the source.

INSTALLATION:

create 'gg:' and some other dirs in it, if you dont have GeekGadgets
environment, make few assigns:

      assign GG: sys:GG
      assign bin: GG:usr/local/bin      
      assign usr: GG:usr
      assign var: GG:var

copy the desired version of 'bitlbee' to the 'bin:', 'var/' to 'var:'
and 'usr/' to 'usr:'. add this to the 'services' of your TCP/IP stack:

      bitlbee 6668/tcp bitlbee

you can change the port of course, and this to the 'inetd':

      bitlbee stream tcp   nowait/stack=50000 nobody     usr:local/bin/bitlbee bitlbee

now, just start your favourite irc client, set the nickname
you would like to identify with and connect:

      favourite-irc-clinet localhost 6668 titlover

follow the help screens sent by bitlbee, or read the docs.

BTW: i dont know if 'miami' accepts 'stack' argument so if it doesnt
     start remove it, but this might not be a good idea since 'bitlbee'
     needs some stack, so set it globally somewhere else.
