Doug Barton 80826c19a2 Seriously modernize this port, my first contribution to FreeBSD
from almost 11 years ago!

Add IPv6 support as well as fixing the dsirc script for modern Perl
courtesy of the NetBSD port. Also add a stripped down version of that
patch which will let dsirc work with modern Perl even without IPv6.

Use OPTIONS to handle IPv6 and SOCKS support.

Also include the addon scripts from the author's site as an OPTION.

Take advantage of PORTDOCS support, and fix the plist as a side effect.

If the user chooses to add SOCKS support print a pkg-message to tell
them how to set it up, and make the README.socks PORTDOC conditional.

Fix the shebang line in dsirc to respect PREFIX.

Change the default IRC server to irc.efnet.org using sed on dsirc
instead of trying to handle it in the sirc script. The effect is
the same, and the user can still override this trivially in their
~/.sircrc.pl file.

Patch ssfe.c to include string.h so that it compiles without errors.

Bump PORTREVISION to signify the significant nature of the update.

An Internet Relay Chat client written in perl, that uses a
perl-based scripting language. It is small (150k or less), fast, and
gives you a good chance to practice your perl skills. :)
It has an interface that closely emulates ircII and comes with
some useful sample scripts that will get you started on IRC quickly. No
knowledge of perl is necessary to run the client although it is helpful
if you plan to do any scripting.
