Well, we already have naim :)

naim will begin in IRC mode if started as "nirc" or "irc", so a simple
replacement could be to remove irc.exe and symlink /usr/bin/irc to naim.exe
(the naim package already symlinks nicq, nirc, and nlily to naim.exe). You
can also create an IRC connection using /newconn once naim is running, as in:
/newconn EFnet IRC
/connect Cyguser irc.efnet.net

There go my people. I must find out where they are going so I can lead
them. -- Alexandre Ledru-Rollin
