Incidently, I would like to add the session list functionality to 
NXDriver so that all open source clients can handle this functionality 
in a consistent way.  I have limited time, so if anyone has C++ skills 
and would like to lend a hand, please let me know.

Currently, you CAN resume sessions with the open source clients, 
because the default rules will kick in.  Also NXDriver can be given a 
session id (if you happen to know it) and it will resume that session.

Thanks,

Lawrence
