built on hybrid7.2+oftc1.6.7

install should be straightforward enough:
$ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/irc --with-services-name="services.us"
   (blackcobalt admins don't need --with-services-name)
$ make && make install
optionally:
$ cd contrib && make install

changes in oftc-hybrid7/bc:

* bc6(rc4) (01 feb 2012):
 - allow {}|^ set in identified.user.$MASTER cloaks
   (I'd be interested to know if this breaks any known software.) 


* bc6(rc3) ():
 - configure: crank default whowas array size down


* bc6(rc2) (07 jan 2012):
 - core: really fix cryptlinks this time.


* bc6(rc1) (07 jan 2012):
 - core: fix SSL w/ debian openssl-1.0.0d
      debian took it upon themselves to limit symbol exports
      which is great except the _cfb aliases are missing.
      use explicit calls (_cfb64, _cfb128) instead.
 - core: fix broken ISUPPORT->CHANMODES. my bad.
 - core: invite-past-bans


* bc6(rc0) (11 feb 2011):
 - servlink: AES-256
 - core: add mirc 7 italiacs to strip_color()
 - core: fix isupport
 - modules: fix mode desync


* bc6(dev7) (11 jan 2011):
 - servlink: support for AES 128 & 192 cryptlinks


* bc6(dev6) ():
 - modules: let +y opers view topics on +s channels


* bc6(dev5) (21 mar 2010):
 - modules: +y opers can see real IP regardless of use_whois_actually
 - modules: fix resv logging (oftc-trunk r1071)
 - core: fix small certfp memleak (oftc-1.6 r1076)
 - core: cmode +C to disallow channel-wide CTCP (from ircd-seven)


* bc6(dev4) (11 feb 2010):
 bugfix merge from hybrid-current, w/ upstream rev numbers:
   (r803) show whether a module is resident
   (r867) fix possible core on channel resvs
   (r882) fix wonky invisible counts with operators::umodes = invis
   (r952) tools/mkpasswd support for sha256/sha512 (glibc2.7+)
   (r979) kill unneeded IsOper in m_map.c
   (r996) src/irc_reslib.c: irc_res_init should wipe irc_nsaddr_list
   (r998) ircd.c should call init_resolver before read_conf_files
   (r986) fix off-by-one error in src/irc_res.c
   (r1014) fix off-by-one error in src/hostmask.c
   (r1022) remove pointless check_class in ircd.c main()
   (r1044) kill clean_string, clean up +y /links notices
     (actually this was fixed in dev3, but documented improperly)
   (r1054) don't log unfulfillable /help requests


* bc6(dev3) (30 jan 2010):
 - SECURITY: integer underflow with flatten_links = no
    CVE-2009-4016
    fix merged from oftc1.6.8
 - core: fix annoying topic desyncs (merged from hybrid-current r873)
 - help: fix old reference to cmode +z


* bc6(dev2) (13 dec 2009):
 - modules: show umodes on whois kind of like dev1, except not broken
 - modules: '-' prefix instead of '%' to display +s channels in whois
    (% is also halfop thus kind of confusing)
 - modules: 'operspy' cmd requires umode +y (UMODE_SPY)
 - core: umode +S implies +y
    (all the informational stuff that +S used to display is now +y)
 - core: 'Banned:' prefix for [kdgx]lined user quits
 - core: fix active xline gnotice


* bc6(dev1):
 - modules: show +s chans to +y opers (rather than +S opers)
    umode +S should be for modewalks/mode changes
    +y (spy) should be informational
 - modules: +y opers can see umodes on local whois
 - core: whois shows godmoded opers


* bc6(dev0) (11 dec 2009):
    ...rushed out the door to get the xline fix in...
 - core: fixed ircd core dump when applying active xlines
 - core: don't really need to hide servers in +c for spoofed users
 - core: proper 004 numeric
 - help: fix REMOVE helpfile


* bc5(final) (07 dec 2009):
 - core: quit lengths could stand to be a little longer
 - core: +c connect notices will now display the address accessed


* bc5(dev3) (29 nov 2009):
 - modules: m_kick/m_remove: allow services to kick on ts 0 channels
 - modules: m_remove is a static module, add to modules.c
    also drag it out of core/ - it's not really "core" functionality
 - modules: mIRC is dumb and has an internal /remove
    added 'rkick' 'kickremove' aliases for m_remove


* bc5(dev2) (27 nov 2009):
 - modules: m_remove.c /remove implementation
    similar to kick, but defeats rejoin-on-kick.
    servers without CAP_REMOVE receive a kick.
 - modules: since we have +E m_whois can report remote SSL clients


* bc5(dev1):
 - modules: kill m_drop.c (lazylinks)
 - modules: m_mkpasswd -> default modules
 - modules: m_msg allows +P services clients to /notice $$
    additionally, services clients can bypass callerid
 - modules: m_force shouldn't let services join users past modes.
    in fact, nobody should really be forcejoined past modes.
 - core: kill some compile warnings


* bc5(dev0):
 - core: channel creation notices moved to umode +n rather than +y
    too much noise for UMODE_SPY opers.
    +n makes some degree of sense, nick changes and channel creation
    are both pretty much irrelevant traffic except in attacks
 - core: umode +E (encrypted) for ssl clients
    this will allow us to do proper +S channel entrance mode checks


* bc4(rc0) (25 nov 2009):
  hopefully bc4-final...
 - core: fix chmode +d server<->server sending
 - core: kill chmode +z. never worked right in the first place,
    and it's maybe less than useful.
 - configure: default TOPICLEN could stand to be a little longer


* bc4(dev6) (24 nov 2009):
 - modules: m_stats.c now reports remote opers in /stats p
    (opers hiding is stupid. umode -o+i if you want to be sneaky)
 - core: chmode +d is still an ugly hack...
    ...but one that works pretty well now
 - modules: back to hyb7 m_restart.c, softboot is kinda sketchy


* bc4(dev4) (15 nov 2009):
 - core: initial denylist (chmode +d gecos ban) support
    lame hack, probably buggy.
 - modules: remote whois notices for +y opers
 - modules: kill m_llnick, m_lljoin (lazylinks)
    (removing more lazylinks code as we go...)
 - modules: m_force, m_change, m_operspy merged from contrib/
 - modules: m_rehash now supports remote rehash
    (for servers with shared{} rehash support)
 - help: cmode +c (stripcolor) was undocumented


* bc3r1 (patch):
 - contrib: m_force can now be used by servers
    this allows us to use forcejoin like one might use svsjoin,
    and thusly kill m_svsjoin


* bc3 (07 nov 09):
 - contrib: operwall -> gnotice for change/force/ojoin mods
 - modules: m_who.c fixed to report @/+/% (o/v/h) correctly
 - modules: m_svsjoin.c added (from oftc-trunk)
 - defaults.h: oftc.log -> godmode.log
 - s_user.c: umode_god will announce when dropping mode
 - help: verbosity/fixes


* bc2 (22 oct 09):
 - contrib: m_ojoin available to opers
 - contrib: m_change, m_force, m_ojoin all announce via operwall


* bc1 (patch):
 - contrib: m_change, m_operspy are now available to opers
 - contrib: m_force fixed
 - help file fixes/cleanups. kill contrib/help/*/index
    (main help/ indexes should be reasonable now)


* bc0 (12 oct 09)
 (initial changes based on hybrid7.2.2+oftc1.6.7)
 - configure defaults changed to fit BC
 - contrib/Makefile.in: exclude busted modules
    (m_force, ip_cloaking, m_ctrace, m_ltrace)
 - minor message changes
 - fix halfop behavior when opping a halfopped user
 - etc/example.conf -> example.conf.default
   (example.conf is now a halfassed bc config)
 - ircdchk.example added (simple cron script)
