Alpha machines

I made some minor patches (which are in the NetBSD pkgsrc tree) which
allowed me to compile and run the server under NetBSD/alpha, but it would
crash fairly frequently.  I'm guessing that there are some 64-bit
unclean-type things, but I haven't gotten around to debugging it. (I've
been running it under NetBSD/i386 instead)

If you build the package (in /usr/pkgsrc/net/vnc), you can see what I mean.

Feel free to contact me with any other questions.
