- IPv6: it seems some recent Linux dists decided to make IPv6 sockets
IPv6-only, instead of accepting both IPv4&IPv6 on them like until now.
FreeBSD (and other *BSD's) already did that move a few years back,
requiring server admins to sysctl.
We now make use of a new option to explicitly disable "IPv6-only".
This should work fine on Linux.
Whether it provides a complete solution for FreeBSD, I don't know, testing
is welcome! In theory setting net.inet6.ip6.v6only to 0 should no longer
be needed, but you might still need to enable ipv6_ipv4mapping.
- Fix stupid issue where current CVS would no longer link TO an earlier
Unreal server (eg: outgoing connect to a 3.2.8 hub). Reported by ohnobinki
(#0003901).
against HTTP POST proxies, now added some extra text to say it also
protects against the Firefox XPS IRC Attack. Also made NOSPOOF enabled by
default on *NIX (this was already the case on Windows).
- Updated ./Config description for DPATH. Seems quite some people answer
this question wrong, and when that happens, you only get some obscure
error when running './unreal start'.
- Fixed 'unreal' script to give a better error if it cannot find the IRCd
binary.
Previously this caused some really odd behavior. Backslashes are now
treated as-is, so no special escaping is necessary. Reported by DelGurth
(#0003002).
- Removed old dgets() function
redundant and confusing. Also removed an old statement saying k-lines would
be erased on rehash which is not true. Documented '/rehash -dns'.

curl detection, added checks to see if curl actually works (print out a
clear curl error during configure, instead of getting an error during
'make'), and we now error when using --enable-libcurl without
--with-system-cares if the system curl depends on c-ares. This is because
this can cause ABI incompatability between curl's c-ares and our c-ares,
which leads to odd issues such as:
Could not resolve host: www.example.net (Successful completion)
And possibly other weird issues, perhaps even crashes.
it to 'no', the default is 'yes' (on). Requested by Robin (#0003885) as
UHNAMES may increase the time of the nick list being loaded from 1 to 4
seconds when joining several channels with more than 1000 users. As this
problem is only present on some networks, we keep UHNAMES enabled by
default.
descriptors. Because of this, Unreal did not restart properly as you would
get an "Address already in use" error. This only seemed to happen when
logging to syslog, or when there was something wrong with syslogd.

- Fixed a similar issue with syslog (and debugmode) and closing fd's as well:
the first port we listened on would not open up, ircd did not log any error.
