Patches above are already accepted.

Just a design question. Wouldn't be better to merge TLSTunnel,
TLSTunnelBase and X509Tunnel classes to the one class as I did it in
common/rfb/CSecurityTLS.*? In my opinion X509 and TLS classes contain
nearly same code so it will be nice to have it in the one class (and
constructor will take boolean parameter which will select between
anonymous/X.509 TLS).

I will disable TightVNC type in the Java client later.

Not sure about those two patches, yet.
Your work is really appreciated, thank you.
