Preparing for a new alpha

The alpha branch of the Subversion repository has been updated in preparation 
for the release of version alpha-8 of EB-lite. This version brings major 
bugfixes and some sizeable improvements:

* Kiss that MSN segfault goodbye! Sorry about that, folks...
* In fact, send the Yahoo one off to keep it company - splatted it this 
afternoon
* a couple more IRC commands (/join, /topic) now work. IRC in general has 
become more robust, particularly in the face of server restarts.
* Group chats have been cleaned up - join/leave notifications are now As They 
Should Be, and existing group chats are recognised by ebqt when it's 
connecting. What's more, they have names now as opposed to all just being 
called "Group Chat"
* MSN error reporting is now sensible (failed-message notifications land in 
the chat where the message failed)

I have to do maths homework now, but tomorrow should see alpha-8 hit the 
website. Meanwhile, both alpha and trunk branches should now be usable and 
reasonably stable. Please test to destruction!
