No, this RFB code has been rewroten by using libvncserver API, and current
RFB code should be replaced.This RFB code make bochs can show 24bits color
and higher screen resolution to remote client.( Include HTML5 VNC client in
Brower).

available ?

Yes, current RFB code needs  libvncserver.

   I think, in windows, you can download a libvncserver and compile it.
That's is not too hard work. By the way, if you compile libvncserver, you
need compile libjpeg or libjpegturbo first. I think these lib can be
compile on any OSes. I have successfully compiled them on MAC OSX and Linux.

If without libvncserver, you have to implement whole RFB protocal, and you
have to do a lot dirty work to handle network events. The old RFB code in
bochs only support 16 color and very low screen  resolution.

Now this patch will made bochs <== libvncserver <== libjpeg(or
libjpegturbo) <== libz

  (<==  means depend on)

No. Anyway, Is Qemu has vnc interfaces? maybe it is  KVM.

Sorry, I don't know.

More, I wonder that if bochs maintainer can merge this code to trunk, and
in my code repo, I make a directory named 3thparty, and I copy the
libvncsever and libjpegturbo code to there, and I use CMake rewrote the
build system of libvncsever and libjpeg,  which can auto compile them as an
static library and can be link with bochs. If bochs maintainer want to
merge this patch, I'm glad to provide these code.

Thank you!
