VNC client library needs some work

The last real feature I needed for my vncviewer widget was Tight Encoding. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had worked out a protocol parser so today I decided to sit down and write a decoder.

I ran into pixel format hell though as Tight uses packed RGB pixels as a special case when bits_per_pixel == 4. ZRLE uses it too but it's considerably easier to deal with in that case. This has led me to believe that it's time to factor out the decoding routines into a completely different library. Instead of providing drawing primatives, I think I really have to just give it a buffer like with QEmu.
