VNC rules :)

I did the port, though it's still not very stable, and damn slow
but that is because it has to poll the framebuffer.
I think since we are redisigning app_server we will be able to know how it 
works (geeh), so make a fast addon to output VNC would be a breaze.
(actually we can make a wrapper addon for the current app_server, but it 
wouldn't be as optimised)
