array of each `termline' structure now contains optional additional
entries after the normal number of columns, which are used to chain
a linked list of combining characters off any primary termchar that
needs it. This means we support arbitrarily many combining
characters per cell (unlike xterm's hard limit of 2).
Cut and paste works correctly (selecting a character cell containing
multiple code points causes all those code points to be cut and
pasted). Display works by simply overlaying all the relevant
characters on top of one another; this is good enough for Unix
(xterm does the same thing), and mostly seems OK for Windows except
that the Windows Unicode fonts have a nasty habit of not containing
most of the combining characters and thus overlaying an
unknown-code-point box on your perfectly good base glyph.
I had no idea how to add support in the Mac do_text(), so I've
simply stuck in an assertion that will trigger the first time a
combining character is displayed, and hopefully this will bite
someone with the clue to fix it.

PuTTY / Plink not to run a remote shell/command at all. Supported in
the GUI configuration and via the (OpenSSH-like) -N command-line
option.
No effort is currently made to arrange `nice' UI properties. If you
do this in GUI PuTTY, a full-size terminal window will still be
created, and will sit there with almost nothing in it throughout
your session. If you do it in Plink, Plink will not accept any kind
of request to terminate gracefully; you'll have to ^C or kill it.
Nonetheless, even this little will be useful to some people...

CloseHandle() the thing returned from MonitorFromPoint. Certainly MS
Visual Studio's debugger complained about it just now. CloseHandle()
call removed.

The active terminal screen is no longer an array of `unsigned long'
encoding 16-bit Unicode plus 16 attribute bits. Now it's an array of
`termchar' structures, which currently have 32-bit Unicode and 32
attribute bits but which will probably expand further in future.
To prevent bloat of the memory footprint, I've introduced a mostly
RLE-like compression scheme for storing scrollback: each line is
compressed into a compact (but hard to modify) form when it moves
into the term->scrollback tree, and is temporarily decompressed when
the user wants to scroll back over it. My initial tests suggest that
this compression averages about 1/4 of the previous (32 bits per
character cell) data size in typical output, which means this is an
improvement even without counting the new ability to extend the
information stored in each character cell.
Another beneficial side effect is that the insane format in which
Unicode was passed to front ends through do_text() has now been
rendered sane.
Testing is incomplete; this _may_ still have instabilities. Windows
and Unix front ends both seem to work as far as I've looked, but I
haven't yet looked very hard. The Mac front end I've edited (it
seemed obvious how to change it) but I can't compile or test it.
As an immediate functional effect, the terminal emulator now
supports full 32-bit Unicode to whatever extent the host platform
allows it to. For example, if you output a 4-or-more-byte UTF-8
character in Unix pterm, it will not display it properly, but it
will correctly paste it back out in a UTF8_STRING selection. Windows
is more restricted, sadly.

- new function platform_get_x_display() to find a sensible local display.
On Unix, the Gtk apps weren't taking account of --display when
determining where to send forwarded X traffic.
- explicitly document that leaving X display location blank in config tries
to do something sensible (and that it's now blank by default)
- don't override X11Display setting in plink, since that's more properly
done later

session data, which is good both for privacy and for reducing the size of
logfiles.

("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.)
