/*
 * stripclr - removes the color codes from a string.
 * 
 * Notice: currently setup for the default smaug/swr color code system,
 * if you do not use these, then you will have to do some editing.
 *
 * This function should properly remove the color codes from a string
 * Not sure if its any use to anyone, but i thought i'd give it out.
 * 
 * I'm not asking for my name to be displayed, but i would like to have my name at
 * least still attached to this function. Altho, it certainly would be nice.
 *
 * Feel free to contact me if you have any problems.
