Better handling of multiple networks/windows. #343

Hi,

I use znc to connect to four networks. I can access all four networks by connecting to znc and using the jumpnetwork command to *status. This works, but my client (irssi) only shows windows for the currently "focused" network. In other words, when switching networks, the windows for the old network disappear.

This is kind of awkward. I want to see windows for all of my networks all at once. I work around this by connecting the znc four times and using one connection for each network. Whilst this works, it is an administration nightmare and even worse on android clients where you have to manually setup four nearly identical connections on a touch screen and connect four times each time I want to use IRC.

It would be nicer if there was an option to show all windows on one connection to znc.

Cheers
