This has been lingering for months, and got bogged down in discussions of some nifty new mega-efficient binary protocol for stuff.  That hasn't happened.  So:  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/198

This adds these new RPC commands:

monitortx/monitorblocks: POST JSON-RPC to a URL when new wallet transactions or blocks are received.
listmonitored: list URLS that will be POSTed to
getblock: get information about a block, given depth in main chain.

monitortx posts the same information you get from gettransaction.
monitorblock/getblock posts:
