[vbox-dev] VNC server patch

[Sander van Leeuwen]

Sorry for the very late reply, but could you check the attached diff 
against the current trunk? It will probably not compile and the makefile 
needs to be adjusted for the VNC library to link with.

We will not include your patch in our binary version due to the 
dependency on GPL libraries (and RDP makes it redundant), but it's of 
course useful for the OSE version. That one is GPL anyway, so there's no 
conflict.

Thanks,

Sander
