3a841b6e10 Antonin Brothanek points out that `Incoming packet was garbled on 
decryption' could be a result of the wrong setting of the
`Miscomputes SSH2 encryption keys' bug workaround option.

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.

`Avoid ever using icon title' to `Separate window and icon titles').

57610f8580 Steven Shockley points out that the .PPK extension is far from obvious to 
users. Update the file selection dialogs to mention it per the usual Windows
convention, and also sprinkle references to it throughout the docs. I've
also scattered hints that most tools need PuTTY's native format; perhaps this
will reduce the frequency with which FAQ A.1.2 trips people up.

10eb26a7dd term->cfg is now a full copy of the Config structure, not a pointer; 
and term_reconfig() now passes in a new structure which is copied
over the top. This means that the old and new structures can be
compared, and the _current_ as well as default states of auto wrap
mode, DEC origin mode, BCE, blinking text and character classes can
be conveniently reconfigured in mid-session without requiring a
terminal reset.

fee1624c69 Support for XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 at the SSH server end, making use of 
the remote IP/port data provided by the server for forwarded
connections. Disabled by default, since it's incompatible with SSH2,
probably incompatible with some X clients, and tickles a bug in
at least one version of OpenSSH.

b2f4de02b9 Mention in the documentation that the method of generating RSA keys 
might give a bit count one less than the one the user asked for. Two
people have been worried by this now, and it's probably worth
documenting that it's perfectly normal.

a564ad3140 Support for doing DNS at the proxy end. I've invented a new type of 
SockAddr, which just contains an unresolved hostname and is created
by a stub function in *net.c. It's an error to pass this to most of
the real-meat functions in *net.c; these fake addresses should have
been dealt with by the time they get down that far. proxy.c now
contains name_lookup(), a wrapper on sk_namelookup() which decides
whether or not to do real DNS, and the individual proxy
implementations each deal sensibly with being handed an unresolved
address and avoid ever passing one down to *net.c.

99b870dbc6 Implement `portfwd-loopback-choice'. Works on local side in Unix as 
well, though it's a lot less useful since you still can't bind to
low-numbered ports of odd loopback IPs. Should work in principle for
SSH2 remote forwardings as well as local ones, but OpenSSH seems
unwilling to cooperate.

07878d8b7c Implement Richard's really clever idea about bell overload mode: 
it's automatically deactivated by any keypress, so that command-line
beeps from (e.g.) filename completion don't suddenly stop occurring,
but it still provides a rapid response to an accidental spewing of a
binary to your terminal.

c7fa2f6183 Updated usage messages for command-line utilities to reflect new options. 
Updated manual to reflect reality (e.g. usage messages, '-p port' not actually
  implemented, sprinkle references to '-i keyfile').
(I've put "Release 0.53" in the messages; let's hope this doesn't cause a
  flood of "where is 0.53?" email.)
I don't guarantee that the result is entirely sane and sensible in all
  respects, but it is at least consistent.

of scp.c, psftp.c and plink.c into it. Additionally, add `batch

exists, insecure cipher, password prompt) are disabled and safe
responses are assumed. (The idea being that if you run PSCP, for
example, in a cron job then you'd probably rather it failed and
exited instead of leaving the cron job wedged while it waits for
user input that will never arrive.)

20e588c35e Add two extra appendices giving the licence text and details of how 
to give feedback. (I think the latter has suddenly become worthwhile
now we have the ability to distribute a help file; so people won't
have to come to the website for the feedback information.)

88a3baa065 Add the remote counterpart for the `local port forwardings accept 
connections from outside localhost' switch. Interestingly OpenSSH
3.0 appears to ignore this (though I know it works because ssh.com
3.0 gets it right, and the SSH packet dump agrees that I'm doing the
right thing).

3ed0d44f16 Retired the #ifdef DUMP_PACKETS stuff in ssh.c because I'm utterly 
sick of recompiling to enable packet dumps. SSH packet dumping is
now provided as a logging option, and dumps to putty.log like all
the other logging options. While I'm at it I cleaned up the format
so that packet types are translated into strings for easy browsing.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECT: in the course of this work I had to re-enable
the SSH1 packet length checks which it turns out hadn't actually
been active for some time, so it's possible things might break as a
result. If need be I can always disable those checks for the 0.52
release and think about it more carefully later.

Pageant chapter expanded, but I don't think WinHelp() allows us to
request this.)
