Update x11vnc to 0.8.3.

New in the 0.8.3 x11vnc release:

        The -ssl option provides SSL encryption and authentication
                natively via the www.openssl.org library.  One can use
                from a simple self-signed certificate server certificate
                up to full CA and client certificate authentication schemes.

        The -sslverify option allows for authenticating VNC clients via
                their certificates in either -ssl or -stunnel modes.

        Certificate creation and management tools are provide in the
                -sslGenCert, -sslGenCA, and related options.

        An SSL enabled Java applet VNC Viewer applet is provided in
                classes/ssl/VncViewer.jar.

                The applet may also be loaded into the web
                browser via HTTPS, i.e one can use the VNC port,
                e.g. https://host:5900/

                See our "Enhanced TightVNC Viewer" project, for native
                SSL enabled viewers.

        The -unixpw option supports Unix username and password
                authentication. The -ssl or -localhost and -stunnel
                options (or detection of an SSH tunnel) are enforced in
                this mode to prevent password sniffing.

        Coupling -unixpw with -display WAIT:cmd=FINDDISPLAY provides a
                way to allow a user to login with their UNIX password
                and have their display connected to automatically.

        Hooks are provided in the -unixpw_cmd and "-passwdfile cmd:,custom:..."
                options to allow you to supply your own authentication
                and password lookup programs (e.g. LDAP).

        The "-ultrafilexfer" alias is provided and improved UltraVNC
                filetransfer rates have been achieved.

        The -rotate option enables you to rotate or reflect the screen
                before exporting via VNC. This is intended for use on
                handhelds and other devices where the rotation orientation
                is not "natural".

  miscellaneous new features and changes:

        Similar to -ssl, the -stunnel option starts up a SSL tunnel server
                stunnel (that must be installed separately on the system)
                to allow only encrypted SSL connections from the network.

        Option -sslnofail to exit immediately if there are any SSL
                connection failures.

        A simpler variant of -unixpw is the -unixpw_nis option that
                works in environments where the encrypted passwords are
                readable, e.g. NIS.

        x11vnc can be configured and built to not depend on X11 libraries
                "./configure --without-x" for -rawfb only operation
                (e.g. embedded linux console devices).

        Add -cursor_drag to change the mouse cursor during Drag and Drop, etc.

        Under the "-connect_or_exit host" option x11vnc will exit
                immediately unless the reverse connection to host
                succeeds. The "-rfbport 0" option disables TCP listening
                for connections (useful for this mode).

        The "-rawfb rand" and "-rawfb none" options are useful for
                testing automation scripts, etc., without requiring a
                full desktop.

        Reduced spewing of information at startup, use "-verbose" (also
                "-v") to turn it back on for debugging.
