using BNC with IRC

[Ethan Blanton]

Dakota Bird spake unto us the following wisdom:

As you have seen, Pidgin does not have a /server command.  You need to
create a new account of type IRC, with the server set to
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on port pppp, nick username and password bncCode.

That said, only bncs which behave *exactly* like a standard irc daemon
in most respects will work with Pidgin.

Also, upgrade.
