Simon Tatham 4d8782e74f Rework versioning system to not depend on Subversion.
I've shifted away from using the SVN revision number as a monotonic
version identifier (replacing it in the Windows version resource with
a count of days since an arbitrary epoch), and I've removed all uses
of SVN keyword expansion (replacing them with version information
written out by Buildscr).

While I'm at it, I've done a major rewrite of the affected code which
centralises all the computation of the assorted version numbers and
strings into Buildscr, so that they're all more or less alongside each
other rather than scattered across multiple source files.

I've also retired the MD5-based manifest file system. A long time ago,
it seemed like a good idea to arrange that binaries of PuTTY would
automatically cease to identify themselves as a particular upstream
version number if any changes were made to the source code, so that if
someone made a local tweak and distributed the result then I wouldn't
get blamed for the results. Since then I've decided the whole idea is
more trouble than it's worth, so now distribution tarballs will have
version information baked in and people can just cope with that.

PuTTY is a free (MIT-licensed) Win32 Telnet and SSH client. This
manual documents PuTTY, and its companion utilities PSCP, PSFTP,
Plink, Pageant and PuTTYgen.
\e{Note to Unix users:} this manual currently primarily documents the
Windows versions of the PuTTY utilities. Some options are therefore
mentioned that are absent from the \i{Unix version}; the Unix version has
features not described here; and the \i\cw{pterm} and command-line
\cw{puttygen} utilities are not described at all. The only
Unix-specific documentation that currently exists is the
\I{man pages for PuTTY tools}man pages.
