ircII under APE in dumb mode (without curses) works okay as a
standalone IRC client.  The dumb mode doesn't really cause a loss of
functionality, because the things that ircII normally does with curses
are basically identical to standard rio window insertion point
behavior.  (If I remember right, you can #define out the curses
functions because if you haven't set TERM in your environment it won't
even try to use them.  Otherwise you can use -d.)
