Ben Harris 81dafd906e Change how we handle the Ssh_gss_buf type. Previously, we defined it
ourselves, but on Unix then assumed it was compatible with the system's
gss_buffer_desc, which wasn't the case on LP64 systems.  Now, on Unix
we make Ssh_gss_buf into an alias for gss_buffer_desc, though we keep
something similar to the existing behaviour on Windows.  This requires
renaming a couple of the fields in Ssh_gss_buf, and hence fixing all
the references.

Tested on Linux (MIT Kerberos) and Solaris.  Compiled on NetBSD (Heimdal).
Not tested on Windows because neither mingw32 nor winegcc worked out of the
box for me.  I think the Windows changes are all syntactic, though, so
if this compiles it should work no worse than before.

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, 2000, and XP, you can set it using Control Panel > System;
on Windows 95, 98, and Me, you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult
your Windows manuals for details.

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?
