abstracted out; replace loops structured around a single interaction
per loop with less tortuous code (fixes: `ki-multiprompt-crash',
`ssh1-bad-passphrase-crash'; makes `ssh2-password-expiry' and
`proxy-password-prompt' easier).
The new interaction abstraction has a lot of fields that are unused in
the current code (things like window captions); this is groundwork for
`gui-auth'. However, ssh.c still writes directly to stderr; that may
want to be fixed.
In the GUI apps, user interaction is moved to terminal.c. This should
make it easier to fix things like UTF-8 username entry, although I
haven't attempted to do so. Also, control character filtering can be
tailored to be appropriate for individual front-ends; so far I don't
promise anything other than not having made it any worse.
I've tried to test this fairly exhaustively (although Mac stuff is
untested, as usual). It all seems to basically work, but I bet there
are new bugs. (One I know about is that you can no longer make the
PuTTY window go away with a ^D at the password prompt; this should be
fixed.)

* All the PuTTY tools for Windows and Unix now contain the fingerprints of
the Master Keys. The method for accessing them is crude but universal:
a new "-pgpfp" command-line option. (Except Unix PuTTYgen, which takes
"--pgpfp" just to be awkward.)
* Move the key policy discussion from putty-website/keys.html to
putty/doc/pgpkeys.but, and autogenerate the former from the latter.
Also tweak the text somewhat and include the fingerprints of the
Master Keys themselves.
(I've merged the existing autogeneration scripts into a single new
one; I've left the old scripts and keys.html around until such time
as the webmonster reviews the changes and plumbs in the new script;
he should remove the old files then.)

discussed. Use Barrett and Silverman's convention of "SSH-1" for SSH protocol
version 1 and "SSH-2" for protocol 2 ("SSH1"/"SSH2" refer to ssh.com
implementations in this scheme). <http://www.snailbook.com/terms.html>

of polishing to bring them to what I think should in principle be
release quality. Unlike the unfix.org patches themselves, this
checkin enables IPv6 by default; if you want to leave it out, you
have to build with COMPAT=-DNO_IPV6.
I have tested that this compiles on Visual C 7 (so the nightlies
_should_ acquire IPv6 support without missing a beat), but since I
don't have IPv6 set up myself I haven't actually tested that it
_works_. It still seems to make correct IPv4 connections, but that's
all I've been able to verify for myself. Further testing is needed.

it's more consistent with PSFTP like this: scp.c/pscp.c is more
similar to psftp.c (the main application framework) than it is to
sftp.c (a set of back-end library routines).
