I'd just compile it, put it on a website, and post the link. Heck, if you'd like, I can host it for you (though I only have 110 kilobytes per second of upstream, but that's 3/4ths of a T1, so...not too bad).

There's no reason not to make it available, and no reason to feel that that would require anything more from you (as far as support, etc.) You've done enough.

Ideally, the maintainers will incorporate your fixes. If not, you have still given back to the community.

A desire to avoid responsibility (no negative connotations intended, whatsoever) should not preclude you from sharing your code. Just call it "nonameVNC" and post the binaries (and source, naturally).

Ok folks, after seeing so many complaints about bugs, crashes, features not
working in the Windows version of VNC 3.3.6, I just have to speak up.

I took some time last year going through the various flavors of VNC trying
to settle on one Windows version to work on.  I finally decided on RealVNC
mainly because it's been ported to the most platforms.  So, I spent several
months fixing bugs (including the server crash bug) and making speed
improvements.  I've finally gotten it to a point where I'm happy with using
it in a production enviroment and where I feel it competes performance-wise
with Remote Administrator.  It even out-performs UltraVNC on a LAN in my
informal testing.

My question is:  Now what?

I don't want to release it as RealVNC 3.3.7 or 3.3.6a or 3.3.6whatever since
that's not my perogative and I have nothing to do with RealVNC, I DON"T want
to release it as MyCompanyName VNC ver.1.0 because I don't want to support
it or answer emails about it, but I still want everybody to benefit from the
improvements and fixes I made.  I got a note back from RealVNC saying they
would take a look at it for possibly including it in a future release, but
that could be months from now.

So, does anyone have any suggestions?
