-.somehow IRIX does not send updates (but when explicitely asked to) if not hextile
-.CoRRE, Hextile encoding!!! Regression!!!
-.cursor drawing does not get undone prior to sending
-.following two items overridden by RealVNC's idea: if there are too many
-	rectangles (like >50), just use the bounding box.
-  cursor drawing: set optional grain to mark bigger rectangles as drawn (else
-	you end up with thousands of one-pixel-rectangles to encode).
-  documentation
-	hint that to mark very tiny regions as
-	modified is possibly inefficient for the encodings.
-	(a trail of points could better be a small rectangle).

-.viewonly/full password method
-.x11vnc: clipboard, cursor (Karl's work)
-.autoconf also CARD8,CARD16,...
-.autoconf
-.internal HTTP tunnelling feature (needs a special GET target and a few
-.	changes to java applet).
-.x11vnc: sometimes XTest fails (but doesn't with x0rfbserver)
-.DeferUpdateTime (timing problems!)
-.empty cursor sending doesn't work.
-.udp (need an rfbClientPtr udpClient in rfbScreen)
-	input only; nearly untested (don't have the clients).
-.font handling: bpp>1
-.test copyRect and pthreads.
-.optionally dont draw rich cursors as xcursors
-.cursor smears on IRIX with pthreads, then has bus error. has to be a mutex
-	problem in cursor routines.
-.fix bug in http (java) client with big endian server: byte swapping is broken
-	(was a cursorshape which was sent too soon; java vncviewer assumes
-	a rich cursor shape to be always 1 byte per pixel, however, framebuffer
-	updates before setting the pixel format can be server format)
-.rfbConnect, ConnectToTcpAddr
-.update to newest TridiaVNC version (1.2.1).
-.adapt rdp2vnc (rdesktop)
-.pthreads concept: How to iterate over rfbClientPtr's? So that it can be
-	 either called from rfbProcessEvents (which locks the list mutex)
-	 or from the main thread (where the background loop sometimes
-	 locks the list mutex).
-	- cursor drawing!
-	- cursor setting!
-	- rfbMarkRectAsModified
-  (did that by adding a refcount to clients secured by refCountMutex;
-   it also was necessary to check for cl->sock<0 in SendUpdateBuf)
-.translate.c: warning about non 8-bit colourmaps
-	16-bit colourmaps are 192k -> no use without fast net.
-.rfbCloseClient
-.set colourmap
-.support 3 bytes per pixel
-.cursors
-.cutpaste
-.httpd
-.other encodings
-.test drawing of cursors when not using xcursor or rich cursor encoding
-fix bug with odd width (depends on client depth: width has to be multiple of server.bytesPerPixel/client.bytesPerPixel). only raw!! -> bug of vncviewer!
-.use sraRegion from Wez instead of miregion, because it is much smaller
-.	- connection gone and then reconnect is a problem
-	  the reason: there are in fact three threads accessing
-	  the clientPtr: input, output and the application thread.
-	  if you kill the viewer or do rfbCloseClient, all of those
-	  three have to be warned that this is happening.
-	-> rfbClientConnectionGone can only be called by the outer loop
-	(with background loop, it is input, else it is processEvents).
-. fixed pthreads issues:
-	cursor deadlock,
-	CopyRect deadlock.
-. when copying a region with modified parts, they were not marked
-	as modified
