rginda%netscape.com b78133bb8e bug 160462 land chatzilla 0.8.9 r=me, a=rjesup
bug 131498 Can't join a channel with Japanese name
bug 133472 slow switching between channels

patches from samuel@sieb.net and naitoh@be-in.org
samuel's changes switch from DOM manipulation to a <xul:deck>, to speed up the time it takes to switch tabs.
naitoh's changes make it possible to join channels with encoded names
change by me to load external scripts before processing startup urls, so that user-defiend networks function properly in irc: urls.
