Description:
------------
This patch adds an onIdle member to the handler class. where if the member function is defined it is called approximately every 30 seconds. (eventually it should be customizable by the derived class, or via "set" functions)

Reason:
so the daemon can perform tasks w/o needing to be "poked" with network traffic. I use this to provide a simple web interface to a daemon that runs tasks every 5 to 10 minutes, so the web interface to the running daemon is a secondary function, not the primary.
