8f3995f6df Add the `can we run under win3.1' question to the FAQ.

88295925be Fiddle the header of the new feedback section to make it carefully
ambiguous about whether it thinks it's on the website or in the manual.

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.)

0d7dc070d5 Add the `local' command set to PSFTP: lcd, lpwd, and ! to spawn a
Windows command.

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.

789bb1e727 Now that Buttress can spot duplicate section keywords, it turns out
there are several of them I hadn't noticed! All fixed.

a65928a8ae Add the missing psftp-pubkey section, shamelessly cribbed from the
corresponding section in the PSCP chapter.

this? Oops).

f9cbbc3387 Updated the PuTTYgen section in pubkey.but so that it gives
individual documentation of the various PuTTYgen controls; also
implemented context help in PuTTYgen to go with it. Shame there
isn't space for a generic `Help' button in the PuTTYgen window.

7983d2dd28 Disable username switching between SSH2 auth attempts, and add a
configurable option so users can re-enable the feature _if_ they
know they have an SSH2 server that isn't going to get shirty about
it. Inspired by a spectacular increase in OpenSSH's shirtiness.

e5764eb695 Add help support to Pageant. (For the primary - non-context - help,
we just invoke the same help file and jump to the Pageant chapter.
It would be nice to be able to bring up the contents box with the
Pageant chapter expanded, but I don't think WinHelp() allows us to
request this.)

fc2a4f845d Documentation: filled the last few gaps and cleaned a few things up.
PuTTY now has a complete manual. Stylistic review, content review
and indexing are yet to do, but at least there's some plausible text
in every section now.

7e0ef0b253 Further documentation work. Tidy up the Config chapter (add a few
new features - the code had got ahead of the docs), and propagate a
couple of cross-references to other files as a result.

fe943dcd68 Add a new chapter full of intermediate-useful-things, somewhere
between `Getting Started' (things we can barely believe you don't
know) and the Configuration reference chapter (things you already
knew and had just forgotten). Only half-written at the moment.

17f54e4c3d Editorial policy change: I've decided that it's better to use \q
than \e when describing button names and menu items: the "Foo"
button rather than the _Foo_ button. Certainly consistent use of
either is better than the mixed use of both we had before :-)
