spicy
   gtk based spice client app.  Command line options are simliar
   to the spicec ones.

snappy
   Command line tool, connects to spice server and writes out a
   screen shot.


current state
-------------

spicy app starts becoming usable.

Library API is far from being stable.  Likewise the ABI of course.
If you play with the libs make sure you rebuild everything after
updating the library for the time being.

Some features are missing:
  - No sound recording support.
  - No client migration support.
  - No mm time handling.
  - Most channel implementations are incomplete.
  - Almost no documentation.
  - Probably more ...
