I'm aiming for windows/winpgnt.c to only contain the parts of Windows Pageant that are actually to do with handling the Windows API, and for all the actual agent logic to be cross-platform. This commit is a start: I've moved every function and internal variable that was easy to move. But it doesn't get all the way there - there's still a lot of logic in add_keyfile() and get_keylist*() that would be good to move out to cross-platform code, but it's harder because that code is currently quite intertwined with details of Windows OS interfacing such as printing message boxes and passphrase prompts and calling back out to agent_query if the Pageant doing that job isn't the primary one.
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?
