refusal to allow comparison of function pointers. Unfortunately this
still doesn't cause PuTTY to compile on my lcc installation, because
the GetCharacterPlacement stuff in exact_textout() is missing from

care of sending keepalives, so they get sent uniformly in all front
ends (fixes: plink-keepalives, unix-keepalives).
