Jacob Nevins 651cedc7fb On Windows, MessageBoxIndirect() was sometimes failing to pop up the host key
dialog and returning an unexpected value (0), causing everything to silently
behave as if the user had said "allow this connection but don't store host
key"!

Initialising (MSGBOXPARAMS).hInstance seems to have cured this (although the
MSDN docs seemed to indicate it wouldn't be used) -- if so, it's been broken
since r5309 on 2004-02-15 -- but since this was something of a Heisenbug, and
the behaviour was so catastrophic when MessageBoxIndirect() behaved oddly, I've
rearranged the code to default to cancelling, and added an assertion for
visibility.

(Windows PuTTY still seems to be broken wrt servers that send NEWKEYS while
we're waiting for the user, which happens to include the "SSH-2.0-2.4.1 SSH
Secure Shell OpenVMS V1.0" I'm testing against. I don't know why. The above bug
may also have been limited to this circumstance.)

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. How you do this depends on your version of Windows. On
Windows NT and 2000, you can set it using Control Panel > System; on
Windows 95 you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult your Windows
manuals for details.

What do I do if it doesn't work?
--------------------------------
