If the only way of doing it is the way the patch does it, then I'd say
no. It uses a very hacky way that checks the RFB version number, which
is extremely error prone, and overloads the existing VNCauth mechanism.
What is should be doing is handshaking for a separate authentication
method. There is a "Ultra" method allocated, so perhaps there is
already a better way?
