[CODE] IMC2-1.0 Release + Easy Colour Bugfix

From: Trevor Man (tman@DIAL.PIPEX.COM)

Okay first thing is the easy colour bugfix.

The define MAX_COLORS should be 30 not 31.

Second thing is IMC2-1.0

I've uploaded a copy of IMC2-1.0 to the FTP site with the necessary
changes for CircleMUD's applied.

Features are (Taken out of README):

IMC2 has various features, including:

o  supports rinfo, rwho, rtell, rreply, rbeep, imclist, rwhois, rquery,
   rfinger
o  ICE allows dynamic creation and removal of inter-mud channels, and
   allows control over who can participate in channels you own
o  inter-mud mail is now in (note to someone@anothermud)
o  core code is not tied to any particular mud flavour
o  loop elimination - IMC connections can form loops without causing
echoing
o  code maintains a list of active muds on IMC plus ping times to them
o  backward compatibility - will connect to muds using James Seng's
   IMC code
o  forward compatibility - new packet types can be forwarded without
   recompiling
o  modularity - since the core code is mud-independent, the code is
   usable on just about anything, including no mud at all! (see
   router.c for an example of this)
o  ease of use - adding new packet types or modifying the behavior of
   existing types does not require an indepth knowledge of the protocol
o  easy configuration - imc.conf is human-readable, and all
   configuration can be done from within the mud without rebooting.
o  invisibility state (including wizi/incog) is preserved between muds
o  immortal commands: rconnect, rdisconnect, rignore, rsockets,
   imc (config editing)
o  colour between muds, independent of the particular method used by
each
