OI Safe should provide a way for external applications to know if the user's preference is to disallow external access

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently OI Safe's default is to disallow remote access.  This is fine,
but a remote application needs a way to detect this situation, either by an
intent which can query the preference, or by a meaningful return error code.

This is so that remote applications might detect the user's preference and ask 
them
if they'd like to change it if they want to continue using this application.

I think this should be handled by OI Safe itself.

It should prompt the user for granting external access.

Later this could be changed to a finer level of control, depending on which 
package 
is requesting information.

Question: Do services allow to tell which application is connecting?

Fixed in r1753.

There is no return error code, but the user is prompted every time they do not 
allow 
access. It is assumed that the external application should allow for a setting 
to not 
access OI Safe if this is not desired.
