I think we'll need to move the pool specific functions ([poolname]_rewards) to the pools.conf file, to be a bit more portable/extendable... Maybe something like a "plugin" system.

Unfortunately I didn't yet code a lot in Perl and porting all this stuff to Python is a task for later (at least for me). Would be great to at least have a proper git repo etc. running!
Instead of solo something like Eligius with PPS + nearly 0 fees would be interesting (if people don't exploit it by withholding winning shares that is...) or maybe even namecoin.
