Convert README to AsciiDoc

So that it looks nice on GitHub.

Neither Markdown nor RST worked for me.

uirc3
=====
= uirc3
The unethical IRC trinity. This project consists of an experimental IRC client,
daemon, and bot. It's all you're ever going to need for chatting.
All of them have these potentially interesting properties:
- full IPv6 support
- TLS support, including client certificates
- minimal dependencies
- very compact and easy to hack on
- permissive license
degesch

== degesch
The IRC client. It is largely defined by being built on top of GNU Readline.
Its interface should however feel familiar for weechat or irssi users.

CTCP queries, automatic splitting of overlong messages, autocomplete, logging

kike
----
== kike
The IRC daemon. It is designed to be used as a regular user application rather
than a system-wide daemon. If all you want is a decent, minimal IRCd for
a small network of respectful users (or bots), or testing, this one will do it.
Notable features:
- TLS autodetection (why doesn't everyone have this?)
- IRCop authentication through TLS client certificates
- epoll/kqueue support; it should be able to handle quite a number of users
- partial IRCv3 support
Not supported:
- server linking (which also means no services); I consider existing protocols
for this purpose ugly and tricky to implement correctly
- online changes to configuration; the config system from degesch could be used
- limits of almost any kind, just connections and mode +l
- limits of almost any kind, just connections and mode `+l`
== ZyklonB
ZyklonB
-------
The IRC bot. It builds upon the concept of my other VitaminA IRC bot. The main
characteristic of these two bots is that they run plugins as coprocesses, which
allows for enhanced reliability and programming language freedom.

the rest of this package.
Notable features:
- resilient against crashes, server disconnects and timeouts
- SOCKS support (even though socksify can add that easily to any program)
Building

$ make
To install the application, you can do either the usual:
# make install
Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
$ cpack -G DEB
# dpkg -i uirc3-*.deb
Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix cpack with
`fakeroot' or file ownership will end up wrong.

Running
-------
`degesch' has in-program configuration. Just run it and read the instructions.
== Running
_degesch_ has in-program configuration. Just run it and read the instructions.
For the rest you might want to generate a configuration file:
$ zyklonb --write-default-config
$ kike --write-default-config
After making any necessary edits to the file (there are comments to aid you in
doing that), simply run the appropriate program with no arguments:
$ zyklonb
$ kike
`ZyklonB' stays running in the foreground, therefore I recommend launching it
_ZyklonB_ stays running in the foreground, therefore I recommend launching it
inside a Screen or tmux session.
`kike', on the other hand, immediately forks into the background. Use the PID
file or something like `killall' if you want to terminate it. You can run it
as a `forking' type systemd user service.

Client Certificates
-------------------
`kike' uses SHA1 fingerprints of TLS client certificates to authenticate users.
== Client Certificates
_kike_ uses SHA1 fingerprints of TLS client certificates to authenticate users.
To get the fingerprint from a certificate file in the required form, use:
$ openssl x509 -in public.pem -outform DER | sha1sum
