Incidentally you can't simply keep a counter of connections and disconnections to get this number. I found this out the hard way when a client "reconnect" caused 2 disconnections in a row, followed by a connection. I've been unable to reproduce a "reconnect". If you do the "retry" command, you re-connect quickly, but that's not the same thing.
Oh well, I hacked around it with a std::set of connected edict pointers. I'd post a patch, but all the code went in my custom mod class, and it's trivial anyway.
