  #your notes:
  # - Requirements: 
  #      -> eggdrop bot  version >= 1.6.17
  #      -> using TCL  version >= 8.3
  #      -> TCLLib  version >= 1.6
  #      -> TCLXML version >= 2.6

  #my notes:
  # ?- aliasing of channels!
  # ?- alternative configs! backupconf..
  # ?- xml:dom!
  # ?- better http get implementation!
  # ?- korrekte Statistiken der User usw?
  # ?- wordbanning?


  # Now, hands away pls :) except you know what you are doing.
  ######
  #package prefer stable
  # we need a nice tcl version
  package require Tcl 8.3
  # it's an eggdrop script, right? :)
  package require eggdrop 1.6

  package require xml
  # tclxml needs uri of tcllib.. at least 1.1 i think
  package require uri

  # include my/our little eggdrop utilities and helper library. ;-) Putils!
