Joe Yates's patch to make mkfiles.pl generate Visual Studio project

files as well as an nmake makefile. Needed line-end tweakery in
order to be able to generate usable project files when run on Unix,
but other than that appears fine. Ooh!

This is the README for the source archive of PuTTY, a free Win32
Telnet and SSH client.
If you want to rebuild PuTTY from source, we provide three
Makefiles:
If you want to rebuild PuTTY from source, we provide a variety of
Makefiles and equivalents:
- Makefile.vc is for MS Visual C++ systems. Type `nmake -f
Makefile.vc' to build all the PuTTY binaries.
- Makefile.vc is for command-line builds on MS Visual C++ systems.
Type `nmake -f Makefile.vc' to build all the PuTTY binaries.
(We've also had one report of success building with the
OpenWatcom compiler -- www.openwatcom.org -- using Makefile.vc
with `wmake -ms -f makefile.vc' and NO_MULTIMON, although we
haven't tried this ourselves.)
- Inside the MSVC subdirectory are MS Visual Studio project files
for doing GUI-based builds of the various PuTTY utilities. These
have been tested on Visual Studio 6.
You should be able to build each PuTTY utility by loading the
corresponding .dsp file in Visual Studio. For example,
MSVC/putty/putty.dsp builds PuTTY itself, MSVC/plink/plink.dsp
builds Plink, and so on.
- Makefile.bor is for the Borland C compiler. Type `make -f
Makefile.bor' to build all the PuTTY binaries.

time of writing this Cygwin doesn't include the necessary
headers.
If you have MS Visual Studio version 6 and you want to build a
DevStudio project for GUI editing and debugging, you should be aware
that the default GUI configuration of the compiler falls over on the
nasty macros in ssh.c. This is a bug in Visual Studio. The culprit
is the /ZI compiler option (debug info generation: Edit and
Continue). To avoid this problem while compiling PuTTY under VS6,
you should:
- right-click ssh.c in the FileView
- click Settings
- select the C/C++ tab and the General category
- under `Debug info:', select anything _other_ than `Program
Database for Edit and Continue'.
Alternatively disable the /ZI option, replacing it with a saner
value, such as /Zi.
All of the Makefiles are generated automatically from the file
`Recipe' by the Perl script `mkfiles.pl'. Additions and corrections
to Recipe and the mkfiles.pl are much more useful than additions and
