Bug#654924: Inclusion of TigerVNC sources
Hi
How dependent is the patched xorg code on the tigervnc source? Is it
so that we could provide a -dev module from tigervnc that we could
use from xorg source? In the past they have been extremely dependent
on each other but I do not know if that has changed.
