It's funny you post this now as last night I was just thinking about 
this.  I was particularly interested in ensure we don't keep breaking 
mixed endian support.

My thinking was to write a client and server in the same application.  
Generate a fake frame buffer, then use every possible encoding to 
transmit it to the client.  Then compare the client and server's version 
of the frame buffer.

We'll have to write a custom server but it will be easy enough using 
coroutines.
