[JDEV] Presence indicator for web page

[Richard Dobson]

Sorry the code is not available as it is integrated with my system and works
only on windows, but it is not something that is very hard to write, it only
took me about an hour. The web pager feature is easy too it just connects to
the server with sockets and sends the message.
