Simon Tatham afd4b4d662 Added framework to sshbn.c to make it possible to vary the
underlying integer type forming the Bignum. Using this, arranged
that gcc/x86 uses 32-bit chunks rather than the guaranteed ANSI-
portable 16-bit chunks. This has gained another 30% on key exchanges
by my measurements, but I'm not yet convinced that it's all
perfectly robust - it seems to work fine for SSH1 and SSH2/RSA but
I haven't ensured that every bignum routine is actually being
tested, so it may yet show up problems in DSA or key generation.

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 to be
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?
--------------------------------

The PuTTY home web site is
