[Brian Warner]

Update of /cvsroot/buildbot/buildbot/docs
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv5432/docs

Modified Files:
	buildbot.texinfo 
Log Message:
* buildbot/status/words.py (IRC): add an optional password= argument, which
will be sent to Nickserv in an IDENTIFY message at login, to claim the
nickname. freenode requires this before the bot can sent (or reply to)
private messages. Thanks to Clement Stenac for the patch.
* docs/buildbot.texinfo (IRC Bot): document it
