* Check for arc4random() in configure, don't use compat.c version if possible.
* GC "fill_it_out" code which has been deactive for a while.
* Fix translation casting error for zlonix
* Allow current_package() to return NULL, handle that as special case.
* Refactor the startup loading stuff
* Move a couple of loads out of basical and into global.

* Nix /save and pray nobody notices.
* Implement pmatch_* stuff in alias.c to use the unified symbol table.
* Commands, functions, and expandos now 100% integrated.  HUZZAH!
* Reimplement $get(set|command|function)s() to use the pmatch_* stuff.
* So they now pick up changes at runtime. HUZZAH!
* Allow built in /set to be conditionally added to the "set bucket"
* Don't put user-created /set's in the bucket
* Allow user to replace one user-created /sets but not builtin sets.
* Allow mangling of ALT_CHAR -- how did this ever get missed?
* Fix $currchans() so it works the way the documentation says it does.
* Fix some const correctness issues, introduce others. bleh.

* Make stripcrap(ALL) exclude "ALL_OFF", so I can...
* Fix bug with $stripcrap(ALL,-BOLD ^B^B^Btest). (rb BlackJac)
* Make the #define Char const char thing global to all of epic now.
* Whack /set scroll.
* Create a "/set data" type (VARIABLE) which is union of (int) and (char *).
* Expose VARIABLE and variable types in vars.h for others to use.
* Break init of /set's into two parts, one to malloc() the set data
* The second part is to init the default values once command line is done.
* Fix some warnings from --with-warns
* Fix all /set callbacks to accept a (void *)(VARIABLE *) variable
* /Set callbacks can now directly modify the /set via that variable!
* So don't allow direct setting of /set's from outside vars.c.
* Everybody must use set_var_value() which is the backend to /set.
* Whack the /IRCNAME and /REALNAME variable -- use /SET REALNAME, eh!
* Hack up /xecho -x to bide my time until i whack all those /sets it uses.
* Don't call set_input_prompt() in main() any more, it's handled elsewhere.
* Whack /set logfile callback, since nobody seems to have missed it.
* Whack the "number" (float) data in /set since i wasn't gonna use it.
* Whack the "GLOBAL/CHANGED" tracking in /set's.  Tell me if you miss this.
* Unify output of /set values as "[New|Current] value of <var> is <val>"
* Don't limit the size of /set continued_line, this will be revisited soon.
* Quick and dirty hack to work around adm's bug, will fix this later.

Teach all the /set callbacks to take a (const void *).
This fixes a bad-c problem with /set!

Actually implement the code to use the translation stuff.  This means the
translation stuff is now functional.  THIS IS NOT DONE THE SAME WAY AS
IRCII DOES IT.

ircII implements translation on the output side of the equation, from which
our code has deviated significantly.  Upon reflection, the most common request
for translation was not for OUTPUT translation, but for SERVER translation.
Therefore, I have implemented translation's operations on the server side
of the equation instead of the server side.  If this ends up being the wrong
thing, I reserve the right to go back and "fix" this later.

Anyhow, the translation(s) in force will occur when data is recieved or
transmitted to the server, and not otherwise.  Feedback is appreciated.

Translation table support.  I pulled this from ircII-2.8.2.  Re-added by
incessant requests from russian users.  This adds /set translation and
/set translation_path.  The translation path is not hardcoded into the binary,
it is $IRCLIB/translation, where IRCLIB is determined at runtime.  You can
of course always /set it to whatever you want.  I am not making the
translation tables available with epic.  They are available in zillions of
places, and i'll probably create a tarfile that contains them.
