bd006a3ced `What is PuTTY?' gets asked _just_ frequently enough to have finally
annoyed me.

352ec6a486 `portfwd-loopback-choice' was not consistently documented.
- update usage info in tools
   - ack, plink is over 24 lines now
 - update man pages for Unix version
 - Doc changes:
   - move long description from (GUI) "config" to "using"
     - sorry if complete specification isn't what this section is meant for,
       but if you only read "using" it was hard to find.
   - ensure enough references to this made in other sections (GUI,
     command-line)
   - update instance of plink usage info

5ff8c668e4 Move the `translation of line drawing characters when pasting'
option from the Selection panel to the Translation panel (where it
fits at least as well). This frees a line in the Selection panel
which I'm about to use for an additional mouse handling option.

Also add to the release checklist so that I'll remember to set this
up properly in the next set of release docs...

5161740aab Incorporate Brad Clarke's suggestion to use "REGEDIT /EA" rather than
"REGEDIT /E". On newer versions of Windows (verified on 2K), this will cause
the .REG file to be saved in REGEDIT4 format (ASCII) which can be read by
older Windows, rather than REGEDIT5 (Unicode). On older Windows, the extra "A"
is harmless (verified on Win98).

8460ecd27d Yesterday's proxy enhancements also slightly nadgered the config
box, in that it started to expand under the weight of proxy options.
Now fixed, by folding the SOCKS version selector into the general
proxy type selector so there's one single 5- or 6-way radio button
set split over two lines. settings.c has of course grown a backwards
compatibility wart to deal with legacy config data.

4b6ffd99f1 Disable window title reporting by default, since it's a security
hazard. I considered removing it completely, but I can't rule out
the possibility of an OS that actually takes security of its
terminal devices seriously, and which might be able to make sensible
and safe use of this feature.

a133e4c137 A poster on comp.security.ssh mentions that he had expected to find
the location of PuTTY's data storage mentioned in the manual section
about loading and storing sessions. This seems not unreasonable, so
I've put it there.

been confused by `connection timed out', so I've added that too.

616c837cf0 The long-awaited config box revamp! I've taken the whole config box
to pieces, and put it back together in a new table-driven form.
config.c sets up a data structure describing most of the config box;
wincfg.c adds in the Windows-specific options (so that config.c can
also form the basis for Mac and Unix config boxes). Then winctrls.c
contains a shiny new layout engine which consumes that data
structure, and windlg.c passes all WM_COMMAND and similar messages
to a driver alongside that layout engine. In the process I've sorted
out nicer-looking panel titles and finally fixed the list-boxes-are-
never-the-right-size bug (turned out to be Windows's fault, of
course). I _believe_ it should do everything the old config box did,
including context help. Now everyone has to test it thoroughly...

c370336a92 xterm apparently supports ESC[90m through ESC[97m to set bright
foreground colours, and ESC[100m through ESC[107m to set bright
background colours. Hence, so do we. Bright-foreground is
distinguishable from bold, and bright-background distinguishable
from blink, when it leaves terminal.c; the front end may then choose
to display them in the same way if it's configured to do so. This
change makes the xterm backend for Turbo Vision (!!!) work properly.
Untested on Mac.
