advantages:
- protocol modules can call sk_write() without having to worry
about writes blocking, because blocking writes are handled in the
abstraction layer and retried later.
- `Lost connection while sending' is a thing of the past.
- <winsock.h> is no longer needed in most modules, because
"putty.h" doesn't have to declare `SOCKET' variables any more,
only the abstracted `Socket' type.
- select()-equivalent between multiple sockets will now be handled
sensibly, which opens the way for things like SSH port
forwarding.

- Robert de Bath's Compose key is now off by default and configurable on
- The ages-old controversy over whether ALT by itself should bring the
System menu up is now controllable by a config option
- You can now independently configure whether scrollback resets on a
keypress _and_ whether it resets on screen activity.

use when they have data from the network. Replaces the utterly daft
inbuf / inbuf_head / term_out() interface, which only made sense
when feeding to terminal.c. (terminal.c now implements
from_backend() as a small function that gateways to the old
interface.)
As a side effect, from_backend() also has an `is_stderr' parameter,
so scp can once again separate the server's pronouncements on stderr
from the actual protocol progress on stdout.
[originally from svn r729]
- cope with strange WinSock wrappers not supporting SIOCATMARK
- define yet more terminal compatibility modes
- support UK-ASCII (just like US-ASCII but # is a sterling sign)
- support connection keepalives at a configurable interval

windlg.c into it. Allows plink and pscp to no longer link with
windlg.c, meaning they lose some of the sillier stub functions and
also can provide a console-based form of verify_ssh_host_key().

functions as calls to the MS Crypto API. Not integrated into the
Makefile yet, but should eventually allow building of an SSH-enabled
PuTTY which contains no native crypto code, so it can be used
everywhere (and anyone who can get the MS encryption pack can still
use the SSH parts).

ATTR_BLINK (as bold background) and VT52 support. Plus a
compatibility tracking system whereby all escape sequences can be
disabled for a pure-VT102 compatibility mode or other levels.

variant which is patent-safe in the US and legal in France and
Russia. This is a horrible hack in some ways: it's shown up serious
deficiencies in the module boundaries. Needs further work, probably
once the SSH implementations are recombined.
[originally from svn r410]
- ^E answerback is now `PuTTY'.
- The framework is now in place for the scrollback to reset to
bottom on display _or_ keyboard events _or_ both. An actual
configurable option isn't yet present, but most of the code is in
place.
- Try to deal with the problems where incoming data gets dropped
after decoding but before display.
- Scrollback behaviour has changed: instead of keying it off
`scroll' versus `delete top line', things now go into the
scrollback from _either_ of those but only if the primary screen
is selected. Should fix problems with `less' and talkers.
- must_update variable has gone because rdb correctly observed that
it didn't seem to be doing a great deal :-)

parameter list of verify_ssh_host_key() does not have scope
restricted to that parameter list. Probably unnecessary but let's
not take chances.
[originally from svn r311]
- NetHack keypad mode (Shift only works with NumLock off)
- Alt-Space handling (best I could manage; not too bad considering)
- Event Log rather than Telnet Negotiation Log
