All the main backend structures - Ssh, Telnet, Pty, Serial etc - now describe structure types themselves rather than pointers to them. The same goes for the codebase-wide trait types Socket and Plug, and the supporting types SockAddr and Pinger. All those things that were typedefed as pointers are older types; the newer ones have the explicit * at the point of use, because that's what I now seem to be preferring. But whichever one of those is better, inconsistently using a mixture of the two styles is worse, so let's make everything consistent. A few types are still implicitly pointers, such as Bignum and some of the GSSAPI types; generally this is either because they have to be void *, or because they're typedefed differently on different platforms and aren't always pointers at all. Can't be helped. But I've got rid of the main ones, at least.
This directory contains 'cygtermd', a small and specialist Telnet server designed to act as middleware between PuTTY and a Cygwin shell session running on the same machine, so that PuTTY can act as an xterm-alike for Cygwin. To install it, you must compile it from source using Cygwin gcc, install it in Cygwin's /bin, and configure PuTTY to use it as a local proxy process. For detailed instructions, see the PuTTY Wishlist page at https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/cygwin-terminal-window.html
