- Move old 7.3 sources to branches/ircd-hybrid-newconf

Some more work on conf stores
Untested, misses includes, but should get you the general idea.

+ "oper" and "added" are for admin's information; NULL (i.e. smalldate)
  is indeed redundant, but I believe it still belongs in conf/ rather than
  reanalysing stuff in conf/parser/ (which additionally makes a
  reverse dependence, i.e. conf parser on store types)

Move some logic from m_kline.c to conf/kill.c, integrate stuff with new csvlib,
clean up / simplify / centralize some code.

parse_aline.c should really be called aline.c or so now

+ added two middle layer between ircd and e.g. csv
+ sample for kill.c, please implement the rest

match args wrong way around preventing you from doing CONNECT *

dlinkDelete the node not the data

+ allow no class limit

+ fixed compile error

+ found a better way to implement this

+ only filename changes

- Fixed resvs

- Oops, serverinfo{} should be read in the first, and listen{} in
  the second pass.

+ corrections to the new code
+ first succeeded soft reboot attempts.

+ added a missing callback initialization

+ restored class limits plus reworked them to be a bit more sane.

+ restored ip hashing code (moved to hash.c)

+ implemented RESV hashing where it's possible (i.e. no wildcards)
+ ok, all this list/hash manipulation should be moved to src/conf

+ fixed everything except m_gline and m_spoof.
+ still to do: ban storage, limits, iphash, parser, conf_connect_allowed

+ make parse_aline compile
+ to do: parser executive, limits, ip hash, conf_connect_allowed replacement

+ make ircd core compile except server.c and parse_aline.c

+ removed s_conf.h and superseded parts of s_conf.c

+ finished implementing newconf base

+ moved parser files to its dedicated subdirectory

+ implemented conf/glines

+ implemented exempt{} blocks

+ added report_klines()

+ implemented auth{}

+ turned a variable static

+ save user= entries in the order they're entered

+ reworked operator{} blocks to make them independent from oldconf
+ moved some utilities from s_conf.* to libio
+ added stub for auth{} blocks

- Fixed off-by-one error in do_parse_error() when reporting the line number
  Spotted by stu

+ rebuilt y.tab.c
+ ServerInfo -> ServerInfoX for now to avoid hidden name conflicts
+ serv_list nodes are localClient->lnode, so don't free them with balloc

+ added implementation for listen{}
+ fixed header in conf_channel.c

Added contrib module for character set recoding

Note it doesn't work at the moment because listen{} itself
is not yet modularised.  Will probably also need some modifications
to include iconv headers and libraries in the build process.

- Made cleanup_pending_glines() an event started off when loading
  the m_gline module
- Removed s_gline.c, s_gline.h and metadata.c

- name conflict was confusing Makefile

- Moved tstats() to m_stats.c and killed s_stats.(c|h)
- Got rid of extra ServerStats pointer
- Killed ms_error which was basically a duplication of m_error

+ additional parameter 'exact' for find_module():

if NO, match only the canonical name i.e. m_part.ABC will match
m_part.so or built-in m_part (used to check if any version of a
module is loaded)

if YES, match the whole file name (used with /modunload and friends)

+ make it compile, and maybe even run...

+ don't allow pathnames when loading modules *kiss*

+ default field support for class{}

- Added conf_operator_report()

+ added support for syntax SECTION "value" { ...fields... };
  ConfSection has a field 'def_field', if non-NULL it will be
  assigned with the provided value.

- Added reset_operator(), also do some error reporting

- Ripped out lazylinks as discussed on irc. the main concept wasn't very well
  designed and will be done in a better way some day.  Anyways, they propably
  never worked and were considered bloat by most people.  Good bye!

+ s/extern/EXTERN/ in include/conf
+ implemented class{} from scratch; it's almost done,
  I only need to add limit checking code
+ added nice syntax e.g. number_per_ip = 3, global:5;
+ added some aliases ie host_limit === number_per_ip,
  userhost_limit === number_per_userhost
  (replaces max_local & max_global mess)
+ check example.conf for more details.

+ missing header

+ added logging{} block. I hate to add this rusty code to new conf
  but it's the only way for now..
+ style corrections

- Finished WATCH implementation
- Added missing 'return' after register_remote_user() call in
  nick_from_server() which would cause an extra hash_del/strcpy/hash_add
  combination.

- reorganisations which aim at:
  1) moving read_conf_files() at the end of daemon bootup process,
  2) making load_*_modules a part of conf parsing, after the 1st pass

+ coded new serverinfo
+ added parse_fatal, similar to parse_error but using L_CRIT and server_die
+ cold moved out from reset_conf, verify_conf callbacks to a global conf_cold

+ implemented admin{} support

+ added missing call in init_conf()
+ added serverhide{} skeleton

+ removed invite_ops_only, controlled by +p now
+ sorted ircd.conf:channel{} a bit
+ added newconf framework for channel{}
+ added missing 7.2 RELNOTES

* implemented general{}

* added general{} framework

- Split out most of the *line *resv stuff into separate file
  parse_aline.c should go eventually into the subdir conf
- removed double -o in Makefile.in in src, this caused compile to fail for me

- added dynamically extensible conf parser (compiles ok); enough to start
  modularising general{} -> general.c, auth{} -> auth.c and so on.
