/**
 * @example camera.c
 * Question: I need to display a live camera image via VNC. Until now I just 
 * grab an image, set the rect to modified and do a 0.1 s sleep to give the 
 * system time to transfer the data.
 * This is obviously a solution which doesn't scale very well to different 
 * connection speeds/cpu horsepowers, so I wonder if there is a way for the 
 * server application to determine if the updates have been sent. This would 
 * cause the live image update rate to always be the maximum the connection 
 * supports while avoiding excessive loads.
 *
 * Thanks in advance,
 *

 *
 * Answer: Originally, I thought about using seperate threads and using a
 * mutex to determine when the frame buffer was being accessed by any client
 * so we could determine a safe time to take a picture.  The probem is, we
 * are lock-stepping everything with framebuffer access.  Why not be a
 * single-thread application and in-between rfbProcessEvents perform a
 * camera snapshot.  And this is what I do here.  It guarantees that the
 * clients have been serviced before taking another picture.
 *
 * The downside to this approach is that the more clients you have, there is
 * less time available for you to service the camera equating to reduced
 * frame rate.  (or, your clients are on really slow links). Increasing your
 * systems ethernet transmit queues may help improve the overall performance
 * as the libvncserver should not stall on transmitting to any single
 * client.
 *
 * Another solution would be to provide a seperate framebuffer for each
 * client and use mutexes to determine if any particular client is ready for
 * a snapshot.  This way, your not updating a framebuffer for a slow client
 * while it is being transferred.
