Simon Tatham d039996616 Remove 'putty -cleanup-during-uninstall' from legacy uninstaller.
It's a bit conceptually incoherent anyway - if you're uninstalling
PuTTY _systemwide_ across a multi-user system, it doesn't really make
sense that you'd also want to wipe the saved sessions for the
individual user running the uninstaller.

Also, making this change to the Inno Setup uninstaller opens up a
nicer migration path to MSI for people doing large corporate rollouts:
they can upgrade to this version of the Inno Setup package, then do a
silent uninstall of it (which should now _actually_ be silent, since
this cleanup step was the thing that interrupted it otherwise) and
then a silent install of the MSI.

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?
