CxImage is used for image conversion for clipboard support.
CxImage have currently some issue:
- library is old and unsupported;
- required an old libpng library.
Currently the MingW binary we distribute due to some
issue have PNG disabled (so no clipboard image support).
Note that currently we support (before and after this patch)
only BMP and PNG. PNG is required as the default agent format.
However Windows programs wants to have BMP (specifically DIB)
in the clipboard.
This patch remove CxImage and use directly libpng (BMP is
supported directly by Windows APIs).
Tested with various formats and the compiled agent with a
Linux client.
The main concern is actually the possible problem to
support some weird/old BMP file formats.

Some additional patch fix compiling with MinGW and Mock.

The RFC patch build an executable to make easier to test
the other patches (requires some input images not included).


Hi Frediano,

Thanks for working on this.

Good news: BMP images work for me
Bad  news: PNG images do not work for me
Good news: I have an additional simple patch
           that makes the above bad good again
           (I'll send it shortly).

Thanks,
    Uri.
