You're right, log is a bad choice for a global variable. I'm faced
with the same problem trying to port the source to Borland C++. Maybe
it would be a good idea to pick a good name for this variable and to
use it in all VNC flavours, so I've changed the name to "vnclog" in my
sources and I hope this name will be acceptable for developers of
official VNC. Also, I'm planning to send a bunch of my TightVNC
changes to Tridia and I hope this name change as a part of patch will
be included into the TridiaVNC codebase.
