+rcirc `:connect-function` fork
+====================
+
+My fork of rcirc supports a new `:connect-function` parameter in `rcirc-server-alist`.  By overriding the default connect function (`open-network-stream`), you can specify any arbitrary method to connect to an IRC server.
+
+Connecting with SSL
+-------------------------------
+
+This example defines a new `irc-open-tls-stream` function which calls out to the `socat` program to establish an SSL
+connection:
+
+    (defun irc-open-tls-stream (name buffer host service)
+      (start-process name buffer "socat" "STDIO" (concat "OPENSSL:" host ":" service ",verify=0")))
+
+    (define rcirc-server-alist '(("irc.freenode.net" :port 6697 :connect-function irc-open-tls-stream :channels ("#rcirc"))))
+
+Connecting through an HTTP proxy
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+The `proxychains` program does some magic tricks to get network activity to go out through an HTTP proxy.  This example
+uses `proxychains` in front of `socat` to make a plain (non-SSL) connection:
+
+    (define irc-open-proxied-stream (name buffer host service)
+      (start-process name buffer "proxychains" "socat" "STDIO" (concat "TCP:" host ":" service)))
+
+    (define rcirc-server-alist '(("irc.freenode.net" :connect-function irc-open-proxied-stream :channels ("#rcirc"))))
+
+Connecting with SSL, presenting a client certificate, with an SSH connection to a remote server
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This crazy example (which I actually use) first establshes an SSH connection to a remote host, then runs `socat`
+from that machine, presenting a client certificate to the IRC server to authenticate.  It also makes sure the remote
+host presents a valid SSL certificate.
+
+    (define irc-open-crazy-stream (name buffer host service)
+      (start-process name buffer "ssh" "remotehost" "socat" "STDIO" 
+        (concat "OPENSSL:" host ":" service ",cert=/home/neale/ircauth.key,cafile=/home/neale/irc.pem")))
+
+    (define rcirc-server-alist '(("irc.wotzit.net" :port 994 :connect-function irc-open-crazy-stream)))
