717 - requires libdexter (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdexter)
718 and the dxt-sysinfo plugin (svn only at the moment).
720 - dexter_client yes/no
721 - dexter_server yes/no
722 - dexter_config /path/to/libdexter/config (default: $HOME/.dexterrc)

764 max_port_monitor_connections
767 * Added $entropy_avail, $entropy_poolsize and $entropy_bar
768 for the crypto freaks. Idea suggested by Perttu Luukko
769 <nuteater@users.sourceforge.net> in feature request 1497050.
770 * Added max length specifier to audacious_title. Closes
771 feature request #1600631.
