Summary: via option is missing from vncviewer 1.2

Initial Comment:
The very useful "via" option seems to be gone in vncviewer 1.2 (it was there in 
1.1).

I found bug 3429667, and it recommended creating a new bug to track the "via" 
option, so here it is.

The "via" option is an extremely useful feature on Linux machines so I would be 
very happy if it can be added back.

Message:
Please, please please!!! Add "-via" option!

I really hope it was just a unfortunate mistake and "-via" will be back in
the upcoming maintenance release.
Otherwise I would never understand the reason why it was removed.

It is the way how the software is developed these days? Removing awesome
features - is this is the trend?
2 days ago I upgraded my Fedora to 18 and got shocked by the "improvements"
they made. I had to spend 2 hours in the internet to only get back my
keyboard layout switch shortcuts. Now I had to downgrade to TigerVNC 1.1
only because "-via" option.

I'm positive. It's a useful feature and not too complex. Someone just needs
to create a patch...

Appreciated if anybody from developers can comment on this issue. Is it

Message:
It has to be noted that the manpage of vncviewer still references it. And I
agree that this is a really useful feature...please bring it back.
