zero but does it in such a way that over-clever compilers hopefully
won't helpfully optimise the call away if you do it just before
freeing something or letting it go out of scope. Use this for
(hopefully) every memset whose job is to destroy sensitive data that
might otherwise be left lying around in the process's memory.

GUIs of Pageant and PuTTYgen. With that and the prompts_t redesign,
there should no longer be any limit on passphrase length other than
the patience of the user.

and various calls to WinHelp() have been centralised into a new file
winhelp.c, which in turn has been modified to detect a .CHM file as
well as .HLP and select between them as appropriate. It explicitly
tries to load HHCTRL.OCX and use GetProcAddress, meaning that it
_should_ still work correctly on pre-HTML-Help platforms, falling
gracefully back to WinHelp, but although I tested this by
temporarily renaming my own HHCTRL.OCX I haven't yet been able to
test it on a real HTML-Help-free platform.
Also in this checkin: a new .but file and docs makefile changes to
make it convenient to build the sources for a .CHM. As yet, owing to
limitations of Halibut's CHM support, I'm not able to write a .CHM
directly, more's the pity.

our app-private window messages, which is considerably higher than the
WM_XUSER we arbitrarily chose. (This isn't known to be causing any actual
problems. The fix seems not to have obviously broken anything.)

* 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.)

I wanted to get to -- "software caused connection abort" and friends --
are going to be more involved (probably requiring some cross-platform
notion of help contexts), and these ones hardly seem worth the effort.
Still, I've done it now.
Side-effect: Pageant now uses the same `hinst' and `hwnd' globals as
everything else. Tested basic functionality.

still only used for the host key popups. Side-effects:
- requested_help is a winstuff.h global
- Pageant now defines winstuff.h globals
(Also, my previous fix to my improved host-key dialogs only got the "changed"
case, not the "unknown" case. Some days I shouldn't be let near a keyboard.)

- will now display a reason when it fails to load a key
- uses existing error return from native keys
- import.c had a lot of error descriptions which weren't going anywhere;
since the strings are probably taking up space in the binary, we
may as well use them

Win32 GetLocalTime() function. (The Unix implementation still just
uses time() and localtime().)

noise_regular() at regular intervals. Again, this means it will be
called consistently in _all_ the SSH-speaking tools, not just those
in which I remembered to call it!

long last to move all the Windows-specific source files down into a
`windows' subdirectory. Only platform-specific files remain at the
top level. With any luck this will act as a hint to anyone still
contemplating sending us a Windows-centric patch...
