there are servers which could in principle operate in this mode, although I
don't know if any do in practice. (Hence, I haven't been able to test it.)

SOCKS5 should always be able to do this, and I suspect our not doing so
dates from when the SOCKS proxy types were under a single configuration
option (pre-r3168).

Unix Plink sends everything sensible it can find, and it's fully configurable
from the GUI.
I'm not entirely sure about the precise set of modes that Unix Plink should
look at; informed tweaks are welcome.
Also the Mac bits are guesses (but trivial).

We probably already require a new enough version of Halibut that this isn't
a problem; nevertheless, I've put it in a separate target for now.

This was a bit rushed, and could doubtless be improved.
Also fix a couple of things I noted on the way, including:
- "pscp -ls" wasn't documented
- Windows XP wasn't mentioned enough

caused when an active connection times out due to outgoing data
exceeding its maximum number of retries, and mention that this can
occur even when you didn't think you'd sent anything due to rekeys
and/or keepalives.
Unix generates ETIMEDOUT in this situation. Windows, it turns out
after doing an actual experiment by disabling my firewall, generates
ECONNABORTED! So _that's_ what it means under Windows. I wish I'd
done this experiment years ago now.

* All the PuTTY tools for Windows and Unix now contain the fingerprints of
the Master Keys. The method for accessing them is crude but universal:
a new "-pgpfp" command-line option. (Except Unix PuTTYgen, which takes
"--pgpfp" just to be awkward.)
* Move the key policy discussion from putty-website/keys.html to
putty/doc/pgpkeys.but, and autogenerate the former from the latter.
Also tweak the text somewhat and include the fingerprints of the
Master Keys themselves.
(I've merged the existing autogeneration scripts into a single new
one; I've left the old scripts and keys.html around until such time
as the webmonster reviews the changes and plumbs in the new script;
he should remove the old files then.)

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.

I wanted to get to -- "software caused connection abort" and friends --
are going to be more involved (probably requiring some cross-platform
notion of help contexts), and these ones hardly seem worth the effort.
Still, I've done it now.
Side-effect: Pageant now uses the same `hinst' and `hwnd' globals as
everything else. Tested basic functionality.

appropriate context help, iff the help file is present. (Shame it's prey to
`winhelp-crash'.)
(I've perpetrated a widening of visibility of `hwnd'; the alternative, putting
it into a frontend handle, seemed too likely to cause maintenance trouble if
we don't also _use_ that frontend handle everywhere we now use the global
`hwnd'.)

Note default circumstances of cipher warning. (I haven't bothered with the
similar kex warning since it doesn't come up in the default configuration,
and is in any case unlikely to be common.)

directory is adequate protection against a malicious server trying
to overwrite your files.
