RFB protocol features (CopyRect) that facilitate handling of scrolling and fonts will allow for a more efficient implementation. Using a portable library (e.g. SDL) is also possible but, IMO, it will be more tedious to build from source without providing any benefit compared to a VNC client, unless we get to the point when we need to synchronize video with sound.
