I've cleaned the commit up a bit, and created a pull request (#369) for it.

Nice, we definitely needed something like that. It wouldn't hurt to have multiple
people running such a seed, to prevent problems with occasional outages of DNS seeds,
once we move away from IRC entirely.

Agree.

Given that there is no public outcry against these programs automatically
opening holes in firewalls, I assume it's safe for us to do the same.

It should be clearly explained in the release notes, though.

Yes.

So: I'm in favor of an emergency release 0.3.24 with upnp default enabled,
dnsseed default enabled, block send limit, no-connect segfault bugfix.
Anything else?
