Support multi-user relay of an entire room between IRC and Campfire

[jrk]

ircamp is an awesome start. However, in the case where multiple people want to use IRC, it currently appears to require a dedicated instance, and, more significantly, a dedicated room per-user. This latter problem is more subtle: placing multiple single-user bots in the same IRC room would not only result in duplicate messages being replayed from Campfire to IRC, but could create an infinite loop in which each would constantly relay the postings of the others from Campfire to IRC and these would in turn be relayed back to Campfire.

Far more ideal would be a single bot which relayed an entire room between IRC and Campfire. This bot would include a mapping between IRC nicks and Campfire users (with credentials). Consolidating the relay through a single bot would allow centralized knowledge of what was being relayed where, avoiding the posting echo problem.

Perfect. I had been thinking about this and think it would be a killer feature.
