5d32d4af14 Now we use Subversion, it seems excessive to have an individual $Id$
line for every single .but file at the bottom of each page of the
HTML PuTTY docs. However, we can't _always_ replace that with a
single SVN revision, because there isn't always one available (SVN
still allows mixed working copies in which some files are
deliberately checked out against a different revision).

Hence, here's a mechanism for doing better. It uses `svnversion .'
to determine _whether_ a single revision number adequately describes
the current directory, and replaces all the version IDs with that if
so. If it can't do that, it uses the version IDs as before.

Also, this allows an explicit version string to be passed on the
make command line which will override _both_ these possibilities, so
that release documentation can be clearly labelled with the release
version number.

d18cd16ca1 A user at ARM just found his home directory was _world_ writable,
and this caused public key authentication to fail in spite of
following our instructions to the letter. It can't hurt to
s/g-w/go-w/ here, just in case!

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.

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.

to "key pair"

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.

c92ea6c8ed UI changes for key imports. We now have a separate Load command and
Import command; the former warns you if you load a foreign key,
whereas the latter doesn't. So the user should always be aware, one
way or the other, that a format conversion is taking place.

de3b29f7e5 Final cleanups on key import/export work. Rationalised the UI (so
that menu options are greyed out helpfully) and added documentation.

9a8c58a64b Added a framework for importing foreign key formats, and implemented
importing of OpenSSH SSH2 private key files (both encrypted and
unencrypted). Seems to work fine.

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.

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.

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 :-)

0da35d079f Miscellaneous documentation updates. Finished a first draft of the
Pageant chapter; wrote something about passphrase lengths; added
\versionid to all chapters that didn't have it yet.

35bdd95a56 Add some extra documentation: filled in the Getting Started chapter,
added an introduction to public key authentication, and made a
couple of changes in intro.but. Transatlantic flights have some uses
after all.
