Speaking of solo mining, does anyone know a way to connect external miners to the daemon? The OpenCL solo miner/daemon hasn't been updated in a while, and it won't compile with modern library versions (probably Boost being the main culprit). Besides, it's rather redundant to have a separate daemon for each rig.

The external miners are intended for pools, and there's no obvious way to connect them to the main daemon (like http getwork via the usual RPC port in Bitcoin-based coins). Of course, this is also a problem with many other coins, but that doesn't make it any better.
