Pageant for local authentication. (This is a `don't use Pageant for
authentication at session startup' button rather than a `pretend
Pageant doesn't exist' button: that is, agent forwarding is
independent of this option.)

that the SSH-2 server is happy with. Fixed, and since I'm here, fix
`pubkeyfile-and-pageant' as well (for SSH-1 and SSH-2).
Also, in SSH-2, we now reexamine "methods that can continue" for every
Pageant key offer, which is technically more correct although it seems
unlikely that it was causing any real problems.
(It's not entirely pretty, but neither was the old code. We could probably
do with some sort of abstraction for public/private keys to avoid carting
lots of fiddly bits of data around.)

Discourage more strongly mirrors in well-served areas in the Feedback section.
Also, duplicate that text on the Mirrors page, along with a request to tell us
the country (since lots of people still don't).

rationale (as mailed to him):
I think you're right. I got the pronunciation there from the second edition
of the OED and my Collins dictionary at home, both of which believe that
"pretty" is pronounced /'prItI/, but, at least to me, those two vowels are
different. Both of them think that /i/ doesn't occur in English words, the
vowel in "beat" being /i:/. The third edition of the OED, though, adds /i/
as an English vowel in its pronunciation guide, with "happy" as an example
of its use. I'll update the FAQ following your suggestion.

there are servers which could in principle operate in this mode, although I
don't know if any do in practice. (Hence, I haven't been able to test it.)

SOCKS5 should always be able to do this, and I suspect our not doing so
dates from when the SOCKS proxy types were under a single configuration
option (pre-r3168).

Unix Plink sends everything sensible it can find, and it's fully configurable
from the GUI.
I'm not entirely sure about the precise set of modes that Unix Plink should
look at; informed tweaks are welcome.
Also the Mac bits are guesses (but trivial).

We probably already require a new enough version of Halibut that this isn't
a problem; nevertheless, I've put it in a separate target for now.

This was a bit rushed, and could doubtless be improved.
Also fix a couple of things I noted on the way, including:
- "pscp -ls" wasn't documented
- Windows XP wasn't mentioned enough

caused when an active connection times out due to outgoing data
exceeding its maximum number of retries, and mention that this can
occur even when you didn't think you'd sent anything due to rekeys
and/or keepalives.
Unix generates ETIMEDOUT in this situation. Windows, it turns out
after doing an actual experiment by disabling my firewall, generates
ECONNABORTED! So _that's_ what it means under Windows. I wish I'd
done this experiment years ago now.
