IRC Mod for Minetest
====================
Introduction

This mod is just a glue between IRC and Minetest. It provides two-way
communication between the in-game chat, and an arbitrary IRC channel.

`git submodule init` when first installing the mod (unless you used
`--recursive` as above), and `git submodule update` every time that a submodule
is updated. These steps can be combined into `git submodule update --init`.

same IRC user to converse with you), the "proxy" user will reject any
private messages that are not in that format, and will send back a
nice reminder as a private message.

the bot name followed by either a colon or a comma and the command, or
sending a private message to it. For example: `ServerBot: help whereis`.
