Xen devel - Feb 2008 - Qemu vnc WMVi support

Hi all,
the patch "qemu-vnc-wmvi.patch" adds support for the WMVi
pseudoencoding
in qemu vnc server.
If the client implements it, it is supposed to be able to change colour 
depth when receiving a WMVi message.

Since I didn''t know any client that supports it and I wanted to test
the
implementation before submitting any patch I also modified vncviewer to 
support WMVi.
The patch "vncviewer-wmvi.patch" is meant to be applied to the realvnc
vncviewer unix client version 4.1.2, using patch -p1.
Try executing vncviewer with FullColour=1 AutoSelect=0.

Please submit this patch to the qemu-devel.  I''ll help make sure it
gets
picked up.  I was hoping you''d do a patch for gtk-vnc but I can add 
support for it if you can''t.

gtk-vnc is what''s used by virt-manager FWIW.

We are currently working on a merge with qemu 0.9.1, there is still a 
lot of work to do, but you should be able to see the results soon enough.

I modified vncviewer first because I am more familiar with its code than 
with any other vnc client.
Of course I can help implement it on gtk-vnc too, I just need some more 
time.
Implementing WMVi support on the client side is very simple if the 
client is already able to do colour conversions.
