I've just loaded a fresh copy of the source from svn, and patched that.
Patch and compile worked fine. Unfortunately, I am currently not able to
test the resulting binaries as I am currently using the PUEL version of
vbox and the kernel modules seem to be incompatible.
The possible impact of the patch on the operation of the binaries should
be minimal, as the VNC server is implemented in a separate library, just
like the FFMPEG encoder - which is only loaded if it is being used.
I hope that, at some point, the VNC server can be started and stopped at
run time, just like the RDP server. However, I have no idea yet how that
would be done yet.
Thanks for your reply.

Sorry for the very late reply, but could you check the attached diff
against the current trunk? It will probably not compile and the
makefile needs to be adjusted for the VNC library to link with.
We will not include your patch in our binary version due to the
dependency on GPL libraries (and RDP makes it redundant), but it's of
course useful for the OSE version. That one is GPL anyway, so there's
no conflict.
Thanks,
Sander

I have written a VNC server extension to VirtualBox. After requesting
this feature in the Bug tracker
(http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6020), I decided to see whether I
could write it myself.
The result is currently part of the VBoxHeadless application and
implemented in a shared library (much like, and based on, the FFMPEG
extension).
I am willing to release any of my (modified) source code under the
MIT license, however, the required VNC server library (libvncserver,
http://libvncserver.sourceforge.net/) is distributed under the GPL
license.
The diff/patch file is attached (patch -p1, please). I hope this
patch can somehow be useful.
Thank you all very much for your work on VirtualBox - I love it.
Best regards,
Ivo Smits
