-Use m4 as a preprocessor on CPATH
-M4_PREPROC
- If you use m4 macro's in your "ircd.conf" file, then you need to specify 'y',
- which will enable m4 preprocessing of the "ircd.conf" file.
- If you are unsure specify 'n'. Note using m4 macros has often lead to
- problems (passwords or server names that match a macro name for instance),
- while the benefits of using m4 are highly doubtful. Unless you are
- already a m4 wizard and insist on using it I recommend to specify 'n' here.

-Use crypted passwords for N: lines
-CRYPT_LINK_PASSWORD
- In order to allow other servers to connect to you, you need to specify
- two configuration lines in the "ircd.conf" configuration file (CPATH).
- Each of these lines contains a password; the C: line is used for connecting
- to a remote server and contains the password that is sent to the remote
- server for authentication, thus this password must be in plain text.
- The other is the N: line and contains the password that the remote server
- is sending to you. For security reasons it is advised to store this
- password in DES encrypted form. If you specify 'y' here, you will be
- allowed to use the DES encrypted password in the password field of the
- N: line, see doc/example.conf for more details. Note that you should
- use *different* passwords in the C: and N: lines respectively for obvious
- reasons.
