Actually, in Adrian's code, you have 3 seconds to change your mind after
you've initiated a shutdown/restart/hibernate.  A left arrow press
within that three second window should cancel the pending action.  So,
since you do get to change your mind, I don't think an extra
confirmation step is warranted.  I suppose the 3 second delay ought to
be documented in the readme, though.

This plugin is really Adrian's code, not mine.  I made the original
mods for SC7 back in April for my own purposes, and I always assumed
that Adrian would rewrite the plugin himself for SC7.  But since even
the link on the SlimDevices plugin webpage to Adrian's blog is broken,
I don't know how involved he is at this point.  I'm happy enough to
make these changes, but I really don't have a place to host the plugin.
Is there precedent for SlimDevices hosting any 3rd party plugins on
their site?

I do have my server set up to WOL, but only with a magic packet.  I
assume that SC only issues a magic packet on "power on, waking up
SlimServer.." but I don't really know.

Oops...I just checked: even though I had the windows NIC->Power
Management set to "Only allow management stations to bring the computer
out of standby", I also had the NIC->Advanced->Wake up on ARP/PING
enabled too. Disabling that did the trick.  The machine sleeps now. 
But, even though I have Suspend to RAM enabled in the BIOS, the machine
really doesn't sleep very soundly.  The CPU, power & case fans all seem
to keep running full blast.

But, since it works for you, I'll add the sleep mode to the plugin.

I have yet to figure out how to connect the player to SqueezeNetwork. 
I'll see if anyone in the developer's forum will be willing to point me
in the right direction.
