(which will gain more content anon).
Retire BUG_SSH2_DH_GEX and add a backwards-compatibility wart, since we never
did find a way of automatically detecting this alleged server bug, and in any
case there was only ever one report (<3D91F3B5.7030309@inwind.it>, FWIW).
Also generalise askcipher() to a new askalg() (thus touching all the
front-ends).
I've made some attempt to document what SSH key exchange is and why you care,
but it could use some review for clarity (and outright lies).

which pretty much any module can call to request a call-back in the
future. So terminal.c can do its own handling of blinking, visual
bells and deferred screen updates, without having to rely on
term_update() being called 50 times a second (fixes: pterm-timer);
and ssh.c and telnet.c both invoke a new module pinger.c which takes
care of sending keepalives, so they get sent uniformly in all front
ends (fixes: plink-keepalives, unix-keepalives).

before is would return success and the empty string. IMO this makes `-batch'
much more useful; before, utilities such as Plink in `-batch' mode would
attempt to plough on using empty strings for usernames, passwords, and so on.

- new function platform_get_x_display() to find a sensible local display.
On Unix, the Gtk apps weren't taking account of --display when
determining where to send forwarded X traffic.
- explicitly document that leaving X display location blank in config tries
to do something sensible (and that it's now blank by default)
- don't override X11Display setting in plink, since that's more properly
done later

on Linux, but the (very few) platform-specific bits are already
abstracted out of the main code, so it should port to other
platforms with a minimum of fuss.

... here's a Unix port of PSFTP. Woo. (Oddly PSCP looks to be
somewhat harder; there's more Windows code interleaved than there
was in PSFTP.)

`Special Command' menu, in which any backend can place its own list
of magical things the user might want to ask the backend to do. In
particular I've implemented the recently proposed "break" extension
in SSH2 using this mechanism.
NB this checkin slightly breaks the Mac build, since it needs to
provide at least a stub form of update_specials_menu().

opaque to all platform-independent modules and only handled within
per-platform code. `Filename' is there because the Mac has a magic
way to store filenames (though currently this checkin doesn't
support it!); `FontSpec' is there so that all the auxiliary stuff
such as font height and charset and so on which is needed under
Windows but not Unix can be kept where it belongs, and so that I can
have a hope in hell of dealing with a font chooser in the forthcoming
cross-platform config box code, and best of all it gets the horrid
font height wart out of settings.c and into the Windows code where
it should be.
The Mac part of this checkin is a bunch of random guesses which will
probably not quite compile, but which look roughly right to me.
Sorry if I screwed it up, Ben :-)

to consult cfg.logxfovr, because it gets done once in logging.c.
askappend() is now called only when a question _really_ needs to be
asked of the user. Also in this checkin, cleanup_exit() in console.c
no longer consults cfg.protocol to decide whether to save the random
seed, because random_save_seed() can make that decision for itself
and do it better.

doesn't yet use the SSH agent, no way to specify arbitrary config
options, no manpage yet, couple of other fiddly things need doing,
but it makes SSH connections and doesn't fall over horribly so I say
it's a good start. Now to run it under valgrind...
