It has some remote capture functionality, but I'm not sure what state it was in; I've done a *lot* of work on it (including testing the server on various UN*Xes and Windows, and testing the client on various UN*Xes) subsequently, and that work is only in the master branch.

It's not enabled by default - it's only enabled if HAVE_REMOTE is defined, and there's no --enable-remote support in the configure file. CMakeLists.txt 1) only sets it on Windows and 2) isn't guaranteed to work on UN*X. The work I've done to fix those issues is only in the master branch.
