Few clients which turned out to be good

ayttm, hexchat, loqui, lostirc, pork, scrollz, sic, weechat, 
weechat-curses, xchat, talksoup.app

Will give a brief about each of them as have installed all of them, so 
we can narrow down choices that we want to give to our users, also makes 
it easier which ones to document.
