Bot-Bot

Bot-Bot is a bot for managing other IRC bots. Opers can manage a list of bots which will be promoted to a certain oper class upon login. The goal is to avoid having to add oper classes to ircd configuration for every bot and instead allowing opers to manage the bots with commands. Tested with InspIRCd.
