Added features

I added support for a relay server so that you can
connect to an IRC server you aren't hosting. I used the
relay server which is part of IBM's Java IRC client:
http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/irc
I also added two small pieces of code which ensure that
the client will use the proper encoding for IRC. Quite
useful when English isn't your native tongue :)
I like your client; the code is simple and easy to
understand. If I have the time, I'll try to add
nickname completion as well.

There should be no problem using a different encoding type
on IRC. Many clients have support for different encodings.
getBytes will attempt to convert it to the encoding of the
system, so we should just let it handle conversions if
needed I think. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. I
will see if cl00bie wishes to add the proxy support.
