Some definitions first, because I'm not sure of the "real" names for these: Hostmasks come in the format nick!username@host, and the extra name displayed in whois info is called an "ircname" according to irssi.

This in mind, currently setting the 'realname' field in config maps to the 'ircname' field as defined above, and the nick is also set in config. However, the 'username' field is currently impossible to change. The bot instead submits a (truncated if necessary) copy of its intended nick.

A feature to set the bot's username as well may be desirable, if this is possible to do in Twisted.
