20f433efac Add a configuration option for TCP keepalives (SO_KEEPALIVE), default off. 
No very good reason, but I've occasionally wanted to frob it to see if it
makes any difference to problems I'm having, and it was easy.

Tested that it does actually cause keepalives on Windows (with tcpdump);
should also work on Unix. Not implemented on Mac (does nothing), but then
neither is TCP_NODELAY.

Quite a big checkin, much of which is adding `keepalive' alongside `nodelay'
in network function calls.

3867e5956e In SSH, we now send terminal speeds to the server when requesting a pty 
(we didn't before) - `ssh-termspeed'.
In the process, I've removed the individual controls on the Telnet and
Rlogin panels and replaced them with one on the Connection panel (since they
were backed by the same storage anyway).
The terminal speeds sent in SSH are logged in the Event Log.

ff6e3bc94d Now that Halibut is capable of generating man pages better than I 
can do it by hand, I've converted the man page set from Unix PuTTY
into Halibut format, and enhanced the Makefile so it will build
them. At some future point this will also allow me to include the
man pages as an appendix in the main manual (once I _have_ a main
manual for Unix PuTTY).

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.

2da920065f The general blurb on using Plink in batch mode ought to mention the 
host key prompt, and specifically mention how to ensure it won't
bite you.
