With this latest beta, I've made some changes to the block-file
mechanism.  Block-files are a way for you to inhibit SrvrPowerCtrl
actions without having to use the CLI.  SrvrPowerCtrl always checks for
the existence of the block-file before taking any action.

With this latest beta, for windows 7 & vista, the block-file
location\filename has been changed to %PROGRAMDATA%\TEMP\spc-block

For Windows XP, the block-file remains %WINDIR%\temp\spc-block

For all other OSs, the block-file remains /var/lock/spc-block

If you're using block-files to inhibit SrvrPowerCtrl, remember that on
the non-windows OSs, you'll need to give the
squeezecenter/squeeeboxserver user permissions to the block file in
order for SrvrPowerCtrl to be able to remove the block-file, if directed
to through the webUI or through the CLI.

Also new in this latest beta: you can now create and delete block-files
via the CLI:

srvrpowerctrl setblock blockfile viacli

Srvrpowerctrl clearblock blockfile viacli

Also, the 'listblock' CLI action now accurately reflects the existence
of block-files.

Remember, on linux, /var/lock/spc-block gets cleared automatically by
the OS on reboot.  For all other OSs, including OSX, you'l need to clear
the block-file yourself.
