There are a lot of questions that would need to be answered.  For example,
VNC is cross platform and architecture.  What code do you use for plug-ins?
x86, Sparc, Alpha, PowerPC? Windows calls, Linux calls, Sun calls, AIX
calls?

Since a re-compile is going to be needed anyway, you might as well have the
different versions and add the code from the different versions you want
(GPL, remember?).  If the author of the version you use doesn't want to add
it, nothing is stopping you from doing it.
