Hi,
I've written do_connect() and \c handling part from scratch in the
attached patch. Here are some features introduced:
- \c syntax is extended. (See comment lines just above \c stuff.)
- do_connect() AI (like used for prompting password or informing
client about connect attempt's result.) improved.
- Some code clean up.
If you'd agree with the style, I'll add patch for the documentation and
PO files too.
Regards.
P.S. Patch passed regressions tests on CVS tip.
