#7 Hacky window scaling

[kaeladan]

This is a quickly chucked together hack that scales the frame buffer to the
current window. You'll notice a lot of lines like this in the code:

if (true /* draw the buffer scaled to the current window size */)
{
// Do new stuff
}
else
{
// Do old stuff
}

Basically, these bits have to be hooked up to some check box that the
user can tick if they want scaling. I had a go at trying to work out how to
do this, but NIBs defeated me. Perhaps I'll read a book about them one
day. Or someone clever can explain it to me :)

Anyway, as I said, this is a little hacky. There remains a bug where some
of the framebuffer is clipped by the window - this is due, I imagine, to the
title bar taking up some space. I'm not quite sure where I should be fixing
the height value for this.

Oh, I meant to add: the diff was taken against cotvnc 2.0b4.

I'd prefer to fix this "for real", but we get so many requests for this feature that maybe we should go ahead and add this patch. Opinions?

I'm for it. I know we need to rework the graphics backend which would get us a whole lot of capabilities and performance, but since no one has had time to work on it, we should probably do this for now.
