Have *I* got *news* for *you*.

It just so happens that these last few weeks I've been working on a
module-based bot for twisted.im - and hence, and IRC bot. It's still
rather under development, but what *does* work now is dynamic loading
and unloading of plugins. :)

Current version is here:

	http://members.optusnet.com.au/thristian/twisted-bot.tar.gz

In the very near future, I hope to be changing the plugin API - I want
to be able to pass config information (likely a handle to the config
module) into each plugin, and possibly to send shutdown messages as
well.

Have a look, tell me what you like and don't like, tell me what you
want, and please - feel free to send patches. :)
