[Icecast] Standard method to read current listeners without user/password

[josh at thepruitts.org]

There is a file /status.xsl that contains all the status information for 
your server.

For example, mine:  http://radio.foxcub.net:8000/status.xsl

You can either parse it with your favorite x?l parsing library or scrape 
it for listener info.

You can see an example of this in action at my page:  
http://radio.foxcub.net

It shows number of listeners and song playing.
