various config stuff in rcirc.el should be customizable

[Miles Bader]

They're now defvars, but they should be defcustoms e.g., `rcirc-nick', etc.

Thanks,

I have done this, along with several other bugfixes and suggested
improvements I have recieved.  I am keeping the www.nongnu.org
repository up-to-date but would rather not bother with it now that it
is in the emacs CVS repository.  Should I just throw my patches on the
list here?

There is no vital reason to maintain a separate copy of rcirc.el
outside of Emacs.  If you want to stop, just tell the savannah-hackers
that you don't need that project anymore.  And yes, please send the
changes to this list.
