Summary: Server 2008 R2 fixes: Cursor and licence error

Initial Comment:
This work around adds to commandline switchs:
-l disables saving of the licence data
-M enables the pointer type "New Pointers". Using this switch will result in correct display monochrome cursors connecting to Server 2008 R2. The "New Pointer" colour cursors aren't properly implemented yet and will usually look ugly because they are converted to monochrome cursors, too.

Apply the patch file directly in the trunk directory.

cursor problem is fixed in svn
creating a workaround for saved licence data isn't such a big deal
@happouh this patch has to be applied to rdesktop source code!

Hi,
I don't know how to run that patch. Can someone help me ???
Do we run it under the 2008 server or on the client ?
Thanks in advance.

Monochrome cursors are working nicely on a Windows 7 remote.  Color cursors
are fugly indeed.

I checked in the new pointer part, please test.
no -M option, its always on with rdp5, always off with rdp4
I have to look at the licence thing.

I think I see the problem caplen variable in rdp_send_confirm_active needs
to be incremented by 2 with -M as well.
