Just to clarify, the merged mining required no changes to the Bitcoin protocol.  Only miners that wanted to do merged mining needed to use a bitcoind with merged mining support.

@StephenGornick I know that there were no changes to the Bitcoin protocol, I was asking about the changes to bitcoind, the daemon that is used for generating getworks and the like.

What are the core [changes to bitcoind](http://dot-bit.org/Merged_Mining#Getting_the_source_code_.28pool_operators_only.29) that allow one to [merge-mine](http://dot-bit.org/Merged_Mining)? Are there any new JSON-RPC commands that are enabled, or changes to the existing ones?
