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 :-)

Windows and Mac backends have acquired auth-finding functions which
do nothing; Unix backend has acquired one which actually works, so
Plink can now do X forwarding believably.
(This checkin stretches into some unlikely parts of the code because
there have been one or two knock-on effects involving `const'. Bah.)
