[hybrid] Contrib module: m_webirc

[Michael Wobst]

Hello,

the module you provided is nearly identical to ours, since both modules 
are based on the m_webirc.c which ratbox provides.

Therefore, if for some reason the contributed WEBIRC module really 
doesn't work, it's most likely due to a smaller bug and not because of 
"incompatibility".

Also, the module you provided contains a major bug where webirc clients 
may bypass active D-Lines since it doesn't update the 
source_p->localClient->ip sockaddr_storage structure within the WEBIRC 
registration process.

Greets,
Michael
