I think we need to have a think about the possible use-cases for this
feature.  This should provide answers to the following questions:

    
- Should only restart and shutdown events be blocked, and suspend and
  hibernate actions be allowed to proceed regardless?
  
- Should only idle and end-of-day actions be blocked, and
  user-initiated actions be allowed to proceed regardless?
  
- Should the plugin be able to specify exactly what it wants to
  block?  Sounds complicated.
  
- Should it be possible to clear a block manually, or is this only
  intended for manually set blocks?
  
- When SrvrPowerCtrl becomes blocked, it flashes up a message to this
  effect on the Squeezebox.  This message blocks the UI, which is
  annoying if you're trying to use it at the time.  Should it be
  possible to dismiss this message by pressing a key on the remote?  Is
  it even necessary to show this message?

Are there any other plugins currently in existence that block
SrvrPowerCtrl?  A quick web search didn't find any.
