Is there any indication of a time frame when this will be available in the standard windows binary? I'm just dying to try out this feature as I need it to create multiple bitcoin services on one machine.
Thanks in advance!

With the current client it is impossible to start mulitple instances of bitcoin on one system, as they compete for the listen port. This patch adds a command line option to not accept bitcoin connection from outside.

Of course it would be even better to specify a port to listen on on the command line, but as I understood the current protocol has no support for alternative ports, so this would be useless at this stage.
