This makes me think - why can't the client to this? I mean, we get custom
sprays uploaded to the server, so the client does have the ability to send
stuff. Why not make a command that will take a screenshot and send it up? To
solve the bandwidth issue, perhaps jpeg encode it first... that would be a
great feature for the next client release.
