abstracted out; replace loops structured around a single interaction
per loop with less tortuous code (fixes: `ki-multiprompt-crash',
`ssh1-bad-passphrase-crash'; makes `ssh2-password-expiry' and
`proxy-password-prompt' easier).
The new interaction abstraction has a lot of fields that are unused in
the current code (things like window captions); this is groundwork for
`gui-auth'. However, ssh.c still writes directly to stderr; that may
want to be fixed.
In the GUI apps, user interaction is moved to terminal.c. This should
make it easier to fix things like UTF-8 username entry, although I
haven't attempted to do so. Also, control character filtering can be
tailored to be appropriate for individual front-ends; so far I don't
promise anything other than not having made it any worse.
I've tried to test this fairly exhaustively (although Mac stuff is
untested, as usual). It all seems to basically work, but I bet there
are new bugs. (One I know about is that you can no longer make the
PuTTY window go away with a ^D at the password prompt; this should be
fixed.)

Unix Plink sends everything sensible it can find, and it's fully configurable
from the GUI.
I'm not entirely sure about the precise set of modes that Unix Plink should
look at; informed tweaks are welcome.
Also the Mac bits are guesses (but trivial).

that the global `sesslist' got out of sync with the saved-sessions submenu,
causing the latter to launch the wrong sessions.
Also, Change Settings wasn't getting a fresh session list, so if the set of
sessions had changed since session startup it wouldn't reflect that (at least
until a session was saved). Fixed (on all platforms).
Therefore, since the global sesslist didn't seem to be useful, I've got rid
of it; config.c creates one as needed, as do the frontends. (Not tried
compiling Mac changes.)
Also, we now build the saved-sessions submenu on demand on Windows and Unix.
(This should probably also be done on the Mac.)

ports, mentioning in particular that even if you downloaded a
_release_ source archive these particular ports are not considered
to be of release quality.

written a script which would generate the various graphical
components of the PuTTY icon suite at any given resolution and then
used that to generate the OS X icon as well as all the others, but I
can always do that later; this'll do for now.

[SessionWindow dealloc] (which was required in order to avoid
segfaulting when a redraw timer fired for a closed session window!).

This was harder than verify_ssh_host_key() and askalg() put
together, because:
(a) askappend() can be called at any time, since it's a side effect
of data-logging functions. Therefore there can be an unfinished
askappend() alert at any time, and hence the OS X front end has
to be prepared to _queue_ other alerts which occur during that
time.
(b) logging.c has to do something with data that comes in while
it's waiting for an answer to askappend(). It buffers it until
it knows what the user wants done with it. This involved
something of a reorganisation of logging.c.

now returns an integer: 0 means cancel the SSH connection and 1
means continue with it. Additionally, they can return -1, which
means `front end has set an asynchronous alert box in motion, please
wait to be called back with the result', and each one is passed a
callback function pointer and context for this purpose.
I have not yet done the same to askappend() yet, because it will
take a certain amount of reorganisation of logging.c.
Importantly, this checkin means the host key dialog box now works on
OS X.

with the Unix port and layering a Cocoa GUI on top. The basics all
work: there's a configuration panel and a terminal window, the
timing interface works and the select interface functions. The same
application can run both SSH (or other network) connections and
local pty sessions, and multiple sessions in the same process are
fully supported.
However, it's horribly unfinished in a wide variety of other ways;
anyone interested is invited to read README.OSX and wince at the
length and content of its `unfinished' list.
