This lays some groundwork for making PuTTY's cut and paste handling more flexible in the area of which clipboard(s) it reads and writes, if more than one is available on the system. I've introduced a system of list macros which define an enumeration of integer clipboard ids, some defined centrally in putty.h (at present just a CLIP_NULL which never has any text in it, because that seems like the sort of thing that will come in useful for configuring a given copy or paste UI action to be ignored) and some defined per platform. All the front end functions that copy and paste take a clipboard id, and the Terminal structure is now configured at startup to tell it which clipboard id it should paste from on a mouse click, and which it should copy from on a selection. However, I haven't actually added _real_ support for multiple X11 clipboards, in that the Unix front end supports a single CLIP_SYSTEM regardless of whether it's in OS X or GTK mode. So this is currently a NFC refactoring which does nothing but prepare the way for real changes to come.
PuTTY README
============
This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.
What should I do next?
----------------------
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.
If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
