on a local port), the `Auto' protocol option on the Tunnels panel
should always produce a port you can connect to in _either_ of IPv4
and v6, because the aim is for the user not to have to know or care
which one they're using. This was not the case on Windows, and now
is. Also, updated the docs to give more detail on issues like this.

of polishing to bring them to what I think should in principle be
release quality. Unlike the unfix.org patches themselves, this
checkin enables IPv6 by default; if you want to leave it out, you
have to build with COMPAT=-DNO_IPV6.
I have tested that this compiles on Visual C 7 (so the nightlies
_should_ acquire IPv6 support without missing a beat), but since I
don't have IPv6 set up myself I haven't actually tested that it
_works_. It still seems to make correct IPv4 connections, but that's
all I've been able to verify for myself. Further testing is needed.

mid-session if we are not using SSHv1. I've done this by introducing
a generic `cfg_info' function which every back end can use to
communicate an int's worth of data to setup_config_box; in SSH
that's the protocol version in use, and in everything else it's
currently zero.

the difficult questions about when it's sensible to offer the option
of saving to the slot we loaded from: _we never do_. The user must
always explicitly specify a slot to save to.

(which will gain more content anon).
Retire BUG_SSH2_DH_GEX and add a backwards-compatibility wart, since we never
did find a way of automatically detecting this alleged server bug, and in any
case there was only ever one report (<3D91F3B5.7030309@inwind.it>, FWIW).
Also generalise askcipher() to a new askalg() (thus touching all the
front-ends).
I've made some attempt to document what SSH key exchange is and why you care,
but it could use some review for clarity (and outright lies).

something outside colours[] (consistently brown on my system).
(I don't understand why this code was the way it was, but it gave the
correct result before r4917 `256-colours', and now doesn't.)

timing shakeup: just running `psftp' caused the net/stdin select
loop (on both Unix and Windows) to get confused at the lack of any
network connection and give up immediately. Should now be fixed.

it's more consistent with PSFTP like this: scp.c/pscp.c is more
similar to psftp.c (the main application framework) than it is to
sftp.c (a set of back-end library routines).

timing.c, and hence takes its own responsibility for calling
noise_regular() at regular intervals. Again, this means it will be
called consistently in _all_ the SSH-speaking tools, not just those
in which I remembered to call it!

blink when the window doesn't have focus, we don't schedule blink
timers at that point either.
Infrastructure change: term->has_focus should now not be written
directly from outside terminal.c. Instead, use the function
term_set_focus, which will sort out the blink timers as well.
[originally from svn r4911]
which pretty much any module can call to request a call-back in the
future. So terminal.c can do its own handling of blinking, visual
bells and deferred screen updates, without having to rely on
term_update() being called 50 times a second (fixes: pterm-timer);
and ssh.c and telnet.c both invoke a new module pinger.c which takes
care of sending keepalives, so they get sent uniformly in all front
ends (fixes: plink-keepalives, unix-keepalives).

before is would return success and the empty string. IMO this makes `-batch'
much more useful; before, utilities such as Plink in `-batch' mode would
attempt to plough on using empty strings for usernames, passwords, and so on.

long last to move all the Windows-specific source files down into a
`windows' subdirectory. Only platform-specific files remain at the
top level. With any luck this will act as a hint to anyone still
contemplating sending us a Windows-centric patch...
