being able to be a PuTTY as well as a pterm. In the process I've
also moved icky things like actually reading from the pty fd and
printing the `terminated on signal' messages into pty.c where they
obviously should have been in the first place. Also there's been one
interesting repercussion in the terminal code: terminal.c's
from_backend now calls term_out() directly rather than expecting the
front end to call it afterwards. This has had the entertaining side
effect of fixing a Windows-specific bug whereby activity in a port
forwarding through a PuTTY with a blinking cursor caused the cursor
to blink to ON (!!!!). So, a surprisingly far-reaching checkin as it
turns out...

malloc functions, which automatically cast to the same type they're
allocating the size of. Should prevent any future errors involving
mallocing the size of the wrong structure type, and will also make
life easier if we ever need to turn the PuTTY core code from real C
into C++-friendly C. I haven't touched the Mac frontend in this
checkin because I couldn't compile or test it.

a marker which defines everything before it as `permanent'
scrollback and everything after it as `temporary'; only temporary
scrollback lines are returned to the main screen when the window
height is increased. Screen clears mark the lines pushed into the
scrollback as permanent; so lines explicitly cleared off the screen
by ESC[2J are never returned to it by mistake. This patch also fixes
the incorrect state the primary screen is left in when the window is
resized while the alternate screen is active.

into the scrollback while the alternate screen is active and bring
it back afterwards.

combining adjacent ones for the same region, and runs them all in do_paint.
I'm not sure it's entirely right, but it works on my Mac in every case I've
tested.

just done this the very simple way - bundle all the globals into a
data structure and pass pointers around. One particularly ugly wart
is that wc_to_mb now takes a pointer to this structure as an
argument (optional, may be NULL, and unused in any Unicode layer
that's even marginally less of a mess than the Windows one). I do
need to do this properly at some point, but for now this should just
about be adequate. As usual, the Mac port has not been updated.

and term_reconfig() now passes in a new structure which is copied
over the top. This means that the old and new structures can be
compared, and the _current_ as well as default states of auto wrap
mode, DEC origin mode, BCE, blinking text and character classes can
be conveniently reconfigured in mid-session without requiring a
terminal reset.

ignore when breaking text into runs for display, and implement setting this
on Mac (other ports just use 0xffffffff).
We don't use DeviceLoop for this any more because Apple Technical Q&A
QA1024 says we shouldn't. Unlike their example, we don't depend on the
Display Manager's being present either.

absent, and also (I think) all the frontend request functions (such
as request_resize) take a context pointer, so that multiple windows
can be handled sensibly. I wouldn't swear to this, but I _think_
that only leaves the Unicode stuff as the last stubborn holdout.
[originally from svn r2147]
each backend now stores all its internal variables in a big struct,
and each backend function gets a pointer to this struct passed to
it. This still isn't the end of the work - lots of subsidiary things
still use globals, notably all the cipher and compressor modules and
the X11 forwarding authentication stuff. But ssh.c itself has now
been transformed, and that was the really painful bit, so from here
on it all ought to be a sequence of much smaller and simpler pieces
of work.
