commit 024c58435e0613ed098aa211fa686d9e1a94eb1f
from: Alexander Barton <alex@barton.de>
date: Wed Feb 04 20:04:54 2004 UTC

The info text ("real name") of users is set to "-" if none has been specified
using the USER command (e. g. "USER user * * :"). Reason: the original ircd
doesn't like empty ones and would KILL such users.  (from HEAD)

   - Fixed (optional) TCP Wrapper test which was broken and could result in
     false results. Thanks to Fuminori Tanizaki <tany@mcnet.ad.jp>!
   - Removed "USE_" prefixes of configuration #defines.
