In fact, those functions don't even exist any more. The only way to
get data into a primitive hash state is via the new put_* system. Of
course, that means put_data() is a viable replacement for every
previous call to one of the per-hash update functions - but just
mechanically doing that would have missed the opportunity to simplify
a lot of the call sites.
It's really only useful with MinGW rather than a Cygwin toolchain these
days, as recent versions of the latter insist against linking with the
Cygwin DLL.
(I think it may no longer be possible to build with Cygwin out of the
box at all these days, but I'm not going to say so without having
actually checked that's the case. Settle for listing MinGW first in
various comments and docs.)
By default Windows processes have wide open ACLs which allow interference
by other processes running as the same user. Adjust our ACL to make this
a bit harder.
Because it's useful to protect PuTTYtel as well, carve winsecur.c into
advapi functions and wincapi.c for crypt32 functions.
The winegcc hack I use for my Coverity builds is currently using a
version of wincrypt.h that's missing a couple of constants I use.
Ensure they're defined by hand, but (just in case I defined them
_wrong_) also provide a command-line define so I can do that only in
the case of Coverity builds.

winshare.c includes ssh.h, but if you defined NO_SECURITY it then
decides to fall back to including the stub noshare.c, which includes
ssh.h again. Fix by moving a block of includes inside the ifdef.

Daniel Meidlinger reports that at least one Windows machine which is
not obviously otherwise misconfigured will respond to our
SetEntriesInAcl call with odd errors like ERROR_NONE_MAPPED or
ERROR_TRUSTED_RELATIONSHIP_FAILURE. This is apparently to do with
failure to convert the names "EVERYONE" and "CURRENT_USER" used in the
ACL specification to SIDs. (Or perhaps only one of them is the problem
- I didn't investigate in that direction.)
If we instead construct a fully SID-based ACL, using the well-known
world SID in place of EVERYONE and calling our existing get_user_sid
routine in place of CURRENT_USER, he reports that the problem goes
away, so let's do that instead.
While I'm here, I've slightly simplified the function prototype of
make_private_security_descriptor(), by turning 'networksid' into an
internal static that we can reuse in subsequent calls once we've set
it up. (Mostly because I didn't fancy adding another two pointless
parameters at every call site for the two new SIDs.)

XP doesn't have it, and I think having connection sharing work without
its privacy enhancement is better than having it not work at all.

The basic strategy is described at the top of the new source file
sshshare.c. In very brief: an 'upstream' PuTTY opens a Unix-domain
socket or Windows named pipe, and listens for connections from other
PuTTYs wanting to run sessions on the same server. The protocol spoken
down that socket/pipe is essentially the bare ssh-connection protocol,
using a trivial binary packet protocol with no encryption, and the
upstream has to do some fiddly transformations that I've been
referring to as 'channel-number NAT' to avoid resource clashes between
the sessions it's managing.
This is quite different from OpenSSH's approach of using the Unix-
domain socket as a means of passing file descriptors around; the main
reason for that is that fd-passing is Unix-specific but this system
has to work on Windows too. However, there are additional advantages,
such as making it easy for each downstream PuTTY to run its own
independent set of port and X11 forwardings (though the method for
making the latter work is quite painful).
Sharing is off by default, but configuration is intended to be very
easy in the normal case - just tick one box in the SSH config panel
and everything else happens automatically.
