icon, even if the program isn't running at the time, to be presented
with an application-defined collection of helpful links). The current
jump list is updated every time a saved session is loaded, and shows
the last few launchable saved sessions (i.e. not those like Default
Settings) that were loaded. Also, if Pageant or PuTTYgen or both is in
the same directory as the PuTTY binary, the jump list will present
links to launch those too.
Based on a patch sent last year by Daniel B. Roy, though it's barely
recognisable any more...

called load_system32_dll() which constructs a full pathname for the
DLL using GetSystemDirectory.
The only DLL load not covered by this change is the one for
gssapi32.dll, because that one's not in the system32 directory.

it'll let you see an identifier (SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT) referenced since r7082.
(Actually, you need a pretty recent w32api before it's there at all.)
Morally, this should be defined for all toolchains, not just MinGW/Cygwin, but I'll leave that to people who have those toolchains.

Also add some other comments on our use of this API (since it's a horrible one
that I suspect will come back and haunt us...)

Application Data directory in preference to the old-fashioned
attempt to find the user's home directory, and use the _local-
machine_ Application Data directory in preference even to that.
SHGetFolderPath() is called via GetProcAddress, so this degrades
gracefully on old Windowses. (Tested myself on Win95.)
As part of this change, we now search for a location for the seed
file separately for reading and writing, so that installing the new
PuTTY should cause a seamless migration as the old seed file is read
from the old location and then a new one written to the new location.
`putty -cleanup' attempts to delete the seed file from _all_
affected locations.
Naturally, a user-specified seed file path in the Registry still
takes priority over all other means of finding the location.

long last to move all the Windows-specific source files down into a
`windows' subdirectory. Only platform-specific files remain at the
top level. With any luck this will act as a hint to anyone still
contemplating sending us a Windows-centric patch...
