Bug#654924: Inclusion of TigerVNC sources
Hi Mike
If you can build it against xorg dev package that would be
very good.
For vnc4 and tightvnc it is not possible due to various
reasons, but for tigervnc I do not know.
For vnc.so I think it should be possible, but to build a
Xvnc binary I do not know.
Best regards,
// Ola
