It would probably be ideal for the default bitlbee configuration to be a daemon listening on 127.0.0.1:6667 or similar, since I imagine most people will just be running on the same machine that they run their IRC client on.
This would mean installing a init.d script that would start bitlbee and making it trivial to disable in favor of inetd for more complex setups. [This would also be a far more secure default setting than what is the current default.] Don Armstrong -- "I was thinking seven figures," he said, "but I would have taken a hundred grand.
