549e5e8b7b New FAQ, aimed at the people who periodically send us large 
questionnaires in unfriendly formats like Excel, apparently in the
mistaken belief that we have some kind of incentive to answer them. I
hope I've managed to identify the key reason why they make this
mistake.

aeee77998e Retire the e-gold link. Nobody's used it in years; I honestly don't 
know how I'd go about retrieving money from them any more because my
last exchange transaction went through a company who subsequently
turned out to be dodgy; and a user points out that e-gold is in
legal trouble, which suggests that avoiding it is probably wise.

85a641500d Improve IPA representation of "PuTTY", as suggested by John Lunney. My 
rationale (as mailed to him):

I think you're right.  I got the pronunciation there from the second edition
of the OED and my Collins dictionary at home, both of which believe that
"pretty" is pronounced /'prItI/, but, at least to me, those two vowels are
different.  Both of them think that /i/ doesn't occur in English words, the
vowel in "beat" being /i:/.  The third edition of the OED, though, adds /i/
as an English vowel in its pronunciation guide, with "happy" as an example
of its use.  I'll update the FAQ following your suggestion.

5aa719d16e Consistently use a single notation to refer to SSH protocol versions, as

implementations in this scheme). <http://www.snailbook.com/terms.html>

b3d4ecd345 `What commands can I type into my PuTTY session' is probably the 
single most frequently asked thing which isn't in the FAQ (it's in
feedback.but instead), so let's add it. I'm uncertain that the
people who mail us asking things like `how do I read my email' and
`how do I access $database' will successfully recognise this more
general question as one which includes their specific one, but it's
worth a try.

5d32d4af14 Now we use Subversion, it seems excessive to have an individual $Id$ 
line for every single .but file at the bottom of each page of the
HTML PuTTY docs. However, we can't _always_ replace that with a
single SVN revision, because there isn't always one available (SVN
still allows mixed working copies in which some files are
deliberately checked out against a different revision).

Hence, here's a mechanism for doing better. It uses `svnversion .'
to determine _whether_ a single revision number adequately describes
the current directory, and replaces all the version IDs with that if
so. If it can't do that, it uses the version IDs as before.

Also, this allows an explicit version string to be passed on the
make command line which will override _both_ these possibilities, so
that release documentation can be clearly labelled with the release
version number.

d54e79bde6 Probably about time we mentioned the nascent Unix port in the FAQ. 
Not that I desperately want to shout about it just yet, but I feel a
bit bad about the FAQ saying `we don't have a Unix port, anyone who
told you so was wrong'. :-)

0c59fb9bbd Mention PocketPC in the WinCE question. I'm not sure how similar WinCE and 
PocketPC are, though -- perhaps it merits its own question. (Although I don't
know of anyone who's looked into it yet.)

61a7dd82ca Changed wording of OpenSSH vs bad OpenSSL FAQ so that it's more obvious it 
applies to 3.4p1.
