Running tinyirc against a server on a low port does not work. It just
falls back to the default port:
bjorn@nemi:/tmp/u$ tinyirc bjorn 127.0.0.1 255

*** User is Bjørn Mork
*** trying port 6667 of 127.0.0.1
*** 127.0.0.1 refused connection, aborting
Looking at the code, the reason is obvious: It's trying to guess whether the
arg is numeric, and therefore a port, by looking at the return value of atoi():
else if (atoi(argv[i]) > 255)
IRCPORT = atoi(argv[i]);
I don't know how to fix this without rewriting the argument parsing from
scratch. Which probably should be done...
Anyway, you may want to document this fact so others aren't as surprised as
I was.
