This makes it easier to compile in multiple debugging modes, or on
Windows, without having to constantly paste annoying test-compile
commands out of comments in sshbn.c.
The new binary is compiled into the build directory, but not shipped
by 'make install', just like fuzzterm. Unlike fuzzterm, though, testbn
is also compiled on Windows, for which we didn't already have a
mechanism for building unshipped binaries; I've done the very simplest
thing for the moment, of providing a target in Makefile.vc to delete
them.
In order to comply with the PuTTY makefile system's constraint of
never compiling the same object multiple times with different ifdefs,
I've also moved testbn's main() out into its own source file.
Or, at least, potentially do so. The build script now has a slot into
which code-signing can be dropped by setting a variable in the bob
configuration to specify an appropriate command line.
The variable will typically need to point at a script wrapping the
actual signing tool, since there are lots of fiddly details
(timestamping countersignature, certificate, private key, etc) not
given on the command lines in this build script, on the basis that
they're local configuration questions for whoever is _running_ this
build script.
The build script generates the .htaccess files that go in each
individual build and redirect generic names like 'putty.tar.gz' to the
real filenames including that build's version number. Those .htaccess
files redirect the corresponding signatures as well, so they need
updating now that we're generating signature files with a different
extension.

I've shifted away from using the SVN revision number as a monotonic
version identifier (replacing it in the Windows version resource with
a count of days since an arbitrary epoch), and I've removed all uses
of SVN keyword expansion (replacing them with version information
written out by Buildscr).
While I'm at it, I've done a major rewrite of the affected code which
centralises all the computation of the assorted version numbers and
strings into Buildscr, so that they're all more or less alongside each
other rather than scattered across multiple source files.
I've also retired the MD5-based manifest file system. A long time ago,
it seemed like a good idea to arrange that binaries of PuTTY would
automatically cease to identify themselves as a particular upstream
version number if any changes were made to the source code, so that if
someone made a local tweak and distributed the result then I wouldn't
get blamed for the results. Since then I've decided the whole idea is
more trouble than it's worth, so now distribution tarballs will have
version information baked in and people can just cope with that.

it's a pre-release of, and the revision number so you can tell two
pre-releases apart. I intend to use this for builds from branch-0.61
until I call it 0.62 proper.

the release directory into a _subdirectory_ of the main build.out,
and delivers the link maps and sign.sh alongside it. That simplifies
both the nightly snapshot cron job (which now doesn't have to
carefully move the maps out of the release directory or go looking
in strange places for sign.sh) and my release procedure (for much
the same reasons).

parts of the versioning code which might not like them.
As a result of this checkin, bob builds from modified SVN working
copies will still announce themselves as revision nnnnM in the
textual version strings, but their binary version in the Windows
VERSIONINFO will now be 0.0.0.0.

base files. (The signatures aren't actually _generated_ by bob, of
course, but the redirects are harmless in their absence.)

and custom svn builds should now have appropriately named Unix
source archives and installer binaries, plus .htaccess files
providing redirects to them from totally standard filenames. I
_think_ this now makes it feasible to switch the nightly builds to
using bob.

a fourth class of PuTTY version tags in addition to release,
snapshot and unidentified: we now have `Custom build r1234',
indicating a build made from that SVN revision in a context other
than that of a dated snapshot. The build script generates these when
it doesn't know what else to do; `unidentified builds' will now only
occur when you run nmake from the command line.
Also, the build script now generates sensible version data in the
installer to match this. So I _think_ we should now be set to use
bob to generate installer builds of the nightly snapshots, although
of course I'll have to wait until tomorrow to test one.
