09951c6078 Implement my experimental arcfour modes. The 256-bit version is disabled
until I can test it against someone else's implementation.

0e82598a35 Index the complete PuTTY manual.
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

9e4d795787 Add text to the troubleshooting chapter about the errors that can be
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.

5eb26fa459 I believe MAC/CRC errors can be caused by network corruption, in principle.

5aa719d16e Consistently use a single notation to refer to SSH protocol versions, as
discussed. Use Barrett and Silverman's convention of "SSH-1" for SSH protocol
version 1 and "SSH-2" for protocol 2 ("SSH1"/"SSH2" refer to ssh.com
implementations in this scheme). <http://www.snailbook.com/terms.html>

a2b583f137 Add context help to a couple of message boxes. Unfortunately the ones
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.

99122767f5 The Windows host key dialogs now have a `Help' button that should give
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'.)

9d9c0fcffc Extra note on "connection reset by peer" on Windows.
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.)

6e8de53dcb "Software caused connection abort": a couple of people now have got rid of
this with keepalives. Also try to emphasise that this seems to be a generic
catch-all type of error.

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.

aba082f324 "Incoming packet was garbled on decryption": I think this could in principle
be due to corruption on the wire?

wrong type.

fdcdecace9 I added more detail to the `Authentication failed at PuTTY X11
proxy' error message some time ago, but forgot to change the wording
in the error messages chapter.

ef14e3959a Add section on "Access denied". This was mostly inspired by the password
camouflage problems with SSH-1.5-OSU_1.4alpha3.

13c7bf5dd5 Error messages update. It's now abundantly clear that WSAECONNABORTED
is not the same thing as ECONNABORTED, so I've removed the `we're a
bit confused about this, send us details' text. And someone has just
been confused by `connection timed out', so I've added that too.

3a841b6e10 Antonin Brothanek points out that `Incoming packet was garbled on
decryption' could be a result of the wrong setting of the
`Miscomputes SSH2 encryption keys' bug workaround option.
