[Icecast] icecast stats

[Klaas Jan Wierenga]

I have a patch on icecast-2.2.0 svn version which was written 
specifically to support SimpleCast users to retrieve the stats for their 
mountpoint and only that mountpoint. This is based on per mount-point 
username password. Using HTTP authentication the client can retrieve 
only http://hostname/admin/stats.xml given the correct 
username/password. This will only return the stats for that specific 
mount point in XML format. In this case the XSL can be used safely 
outside the admin dir referencing the admin/stats.xml using the HTTP 
authentication.

I'm on holiday currently, but I'll post the patch as soon as I get a 
chance to do so.

Cheers,
KJ
