It's hardly new, it's been there for about 6 months. As with all things
BitTorrent, the best reference is the python source:
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/bittorrent/BitTorrent/BitTorrent/track.py?r1=1.89&r2=1.84>
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/bittorrent/BitTorrent/BitTorrent/Rerequester.py?r1=1.25&r2=1.26>
This might be on the specs wiki but it wasn't the last time I looked.
Basically just make up a random value for the key and always pass it to
the tracker for the current session.
