   - Log better error messages when rejecting clients.
   - Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are
     synchronized between server on peering, K-Lines are local only.

   - Xcode: update project file for Xcode 4.2 and define HAVE_GAI_STRERROR
     for Mac OS X Xcode builds.
   - ./configure: Fix logic and quoting of poll() detection code: only use
