1393528a3a Handle WM_SYSCOLORCHANGE if using system colours. (Resets the whole palette,
whereas ideally it would restrict itself to the affected colour slots.)

97fb4184d8 Fix an annoying inconsistency that's been bugging me for years: "plink host"
and "plink user@host" differed in that the former attempted to load session
`host' while the latter didn't. Now both forms attempt to load a session.
Someone will probably complain, but hey.

1af5523edc Someone complained that their keyboard-interactive password prompt was being
truncated - it was from OpenSSH on HP/UX and had all sorts of stuff in it
("last successful login" etc).

Bodged it by bumping up the space allocated in the fixed array for a password
prompt. Also added an indication that the prompt is being truncated, as
required by draft-ietf-secsh-auth-kbdinteract-06.

(NB that before this checkin, there was a more-or-less harmless buffer overread
where if we ever received a keyboard-interactive prompt with echo=1, we'd
probably spew goo on the terminal; fixed now.)

f17522be6c Extra logging in SSH-2 port-forwarding. Most obviously, the opening of a
forwarded X11 connection is now logged as well as the closing; but we also
log the peer IP/port in case it's interesting, and log the reason for
refusing to honour a channel open.

088a1d37e9 Flush the logfile reasonably frequently in `printable output only' and
`all session data' modes, without completely mauling the performance, by
fflush()ing once per term_out(). If anyone complains I suppose we can
make this optional.

aaeca0f4a0 Apparently sending the tar output to stdout rather than a file causes tar to
pad with trailing NULs, which slightly upsets old versions of gzip (1.2.4,
not 1.3.x), which upsets some of our correspondents.
Use -f to send it to a file instead. (It's not transparently clear what
happens when you mix -f and -C; I've tested this with ixion's tar, 1.13.25.)

Also add option -o to generate POSIX tar files, as for halibut/Makefile;
apparently this shuts up a `trailing garbage' error from WinZip.

11f628b075 When using remote forwarding with SSH-1, you'd get bogus 'SSH1 cannot
handle source address spec ":10023"; ignoring' type errors in the
Event Log. The forwarding would go ahead as normal so this is
cosmetic. Fixed.

c8e789d806 Attempt to make Windows pointer hiding more robust by ignoring MOUSEMOVE and
NCMOUSEMOVE messages where nothing actually changes. It seems Windows likes
to send such messages occasionally when other stuff is going on (e.g., in
other windows).

55119c2167 PSFTP was ignoring -1' and -2' and always using SSH-2 with fallback to
SSH-1. It also ignored any settings forbidding fallback to SSH-1.

Ignoring `-1' and `-2' is hardly the end of the world, as it'd be difficult
to think of a realistic situation where fallback didn't do the right thing
and PSFTP was still useful. However, ignoring a user's `SSH-2 only' setting
was a bit rude.

c2914f2191 Fix for `psftp-pscp-ignore-load': Default Settings is now loaded
before "-load" is processed so that it doesn't clobber it.

I've also changed the semantics of "-load" slightly for PSCP, PSFTP,
and Plink: if it's specified at all, it overrides (disables) the
implicit loading of session details based on a supplied hostname
elsewhere (on the grounds that the user is more likely to want the
"-load" session than the implicit session). (PuTTY itself doesn't do
implicit loading at all, so I haven't changed it.)

This means that all the PuTTY tools' behaviour is now consistent iff
"-load" is specified (otherwise, some tools have implicit-session, and
others don't).

However, I've not documented this behaviour, as there's a good chance
it will be swept away if and when we get round to sorting out how we
deal with settings from multiple sources. It's intended as a "do
something sensible" change.

20f433efac Add a configuration option for TCP keepalives (SO_KEEPALIVE), default off.
No very good reason, but I've occasionally wanted to frob it to see if it
makes any difference to problems I'm having, and it was easy.

Tested that it does actually cause keepalives on Windows (with tcpdump);
should also work on Unix. Not implemented on Mac (does nothing), but then
neither is TCP_NODELAY.

Quite a big checkin, much of which is adding `keepalive' alongside `nodelay'
in network function calls.
