spyserv.C: Server program which allows clients, "spies", to connect and snoop objects.

// Server program which allows clients, "spies", to connect and snoop objects.
// To run this demo do the following:
//   - open two or more windows
//   - start root in all windows
//   - execute in the first window:    .x spyserv.C  (or spyserv.C++)
//   - execute in the other window(s): .x spy.C      (or spy.C++)
//   - in the "spy" client windows click the "Connect" button and snoop
//     the histograms by clicking on the "hpx", "hpxpy" and "hprof"
//     buttons
