mIRC "passive DCC" support patch
mIRC has the ability to send files and DCC chats with the so-called
"passive DCC" feature to get around firewall limitations. This is a
non-standard extension to the DCC protocol, and until now Xchat couldn't
handle it. With this patch, it can receive passive DCC sends and chats. It
can NOT initiate passive DCCs itself (I don't think this is necessary;
there are better ways to send stuff from behind a firewall). Patch [1] is
against stock Xchat 1.8.9.
Testing needed! I didn't know how to properly test this on myself, so I
just ran simulations. No actual DCC connection was ever established.
