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.

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.

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.

- update usage info in tools
- ack, plink is over 24 lines now
- update man pages for Unix version
- Doc changes:
- move long description from (GUI) "config" to "using"
- sorry if complete specification isn't what this section is meant for,
but if you only read "using" it was hard to find.
- ensure enough references to this made in other sections (GUI,
command-line)
- update instance of plink usage info

from_backend() interface, after having made all implementations safe against
being called with len==0 and possibly-NULL/undefined "data".
(This includes making misc.c:bufchain_add() more robust in this area.)
Assertion was originally added 2002-03-01; e.g., see plink.c:1.53 [r1571].
I believe this now shouldn't break anything.
This should hopefully make `ppk-empty-comment' finally GO AWAY. (Tested
with Unix PuTTY.)

platform-independent source file. Haven't yet added the extra
abstraction routines to uxsftp.c to create a Unix PSCP port, but it
shouldn't take long.
Also in this checkin, a change of semantics in platform_default_s():
now strings returned from it are expected to be dynamically allocated.

... here's a Unix port of PSFTP. Woo. (Oddly PSCP looks to be
somewhat harder; there's more Windows code interleaved than there
was in PSFTP.)

5 isn't supported, but it'll be no difficulty once I actually get
round to it). Thanks to Chas Honton for his `stone soup' patch: I
didn't end up actually using any of his code, but it galvanised me
into doing it properly myself :-)

being able to be a PuTTY as well as a pterm. In the process I've
also moved icky things like actually reading from the pty fd and
printing the `terminated on signal' messages into pty.c where they
obviously should have been in the first place. Also there's been one
interesting repercussion in the terminal code: terminal.c's
from_backend now calls term_out() directly rather than expecting the
front end to call it afterwards. This has had the entertaining side
effect of fixing a Windows-specific bug whereby activity in a port
forwarding through a PuTTY with a blinking cursor caused the cursor
to blink to ON (!!!!). So, a surprisingly far-reaching checkin as it
turns out...
[originally from svn r3017]
functionality that deal with selectable fds in general. The idea is
that pty.c will stop passing its fd straight to pterm.c and hand it
to this module instead, and pterm.c will start requesting a general
list of fds from this module rather than expecting a single one from
pty.c, with the ultimate aim of pterm.c being able to form the basis
of a Unix PuTTY as well as pterm proper.

malloc functions, which automatically cast to the same type they're
allocating the size of. Should prevent any future errors involving
mallocing the size of the wrong structure type, and will also make
life easier if we ever need to turn the PuTTY core code from real C
into C++-friendly C. I haven't touched the Mac frontend in this
checkin because I couldn't compile or test it.
[originally from svn r3014]
opaque to all platform-independent modules and only handled within
per-platform code. `Filename' is there because the Mac has a magic
way to store filenames (though currently this checkin doesn't
support it!); `FontSpec' is there so that all the auxiliary stuff
such as font height and charset and so on which is needed under
Windows but not Unix can be kept where it belongs, and so that I can
have a hope in hell of dealing with a font chooser in the forthcoming
cross-platform config box code, and best of all it gets the horrid
font height wart out of settings.c and into the Windows code where
it should be.
The Mac part of this checkin is a bunch of random guesses which will
probably not quite compile, but which look roughly right to me.
Sorry if I screwed it up, Ben :-)

holdout static I hadn't noticed; unicode.c had one too; and a large
number of statics that were perfectly OK due to being constants have
been made `const', with assorted `const' repercussions all over the
place. I now declare `remove-statics' to be fixed.
[originally from svn r2594]
completely from putty.h. It's now static in each of the command-line
front ends, shared only between window.c and windlg.c in PuTTY
proper (I've tested this by doing #define cfg cfgsillyname in those
two files only, and it still links so nobody else is using that
symbol!), and part of the `inst' structure in pterm. I think that
only leaves the Unicode module as the last stubborn holdout in the
anti-global-variables campaign.

and have a function to pass in a new one. (Well, actually several
back ends don't actually bother to do this because they need nothing
out of Config after the initial setup phase, but they could if they
wanted to.)

and pterm need at least one default setting to be _different_ (pterm
needs the default term type to be `xterm', while plink needs it to
be taken from $TERM). So here's a completely new alternative
mechanism for platform- and app-specific default settings. Ben will
probably want to check the integrity of the Mac port, since I've
fiddled with it without testing that it still compiles.

little dependent on what may be quirks of the Linux socket layer.

doesn't yet use the SSH agent, no way to specify arbitrary config

it's a good start. Now to run it under valgrind...
