Yes. Unfinished, unclean, and mostly Windows code (that was what my
customer wanted). It's based on the TightVNC source, but the part with
changes is just about the same in any VNC variant.

I guess I can grab together my bits tomorrow. I'd be grateful to be able
to discuss this with people, because I feel somewhat "unreflected" until
now.....

I'll have to do some porting to Linux/Solaris anyway, and that seems
also to be a very nice opportunity to dive into the KDE X.509 handling
stuff. I presume you're talking about something like integration with
the Sphinx framework, aren't you?

CU, Joe
