 Lots of 'olpc' users connecting to the same #olpc-support channel is going
 to be endlessly confusing. Forcing new users to figure out how to enter
 the /nick command (and that commands could even be entered) into the input
 prompt is unreasonable UI. XoIRC should automatically set the irc nick to
 the username of the child on the machine, or some subset of it.
