Simon Tatham c71cc50e52 Windows: cope if caret blinking is disabled.
On Windows, when a blinking cursor is enabled, PuTTY uses the system
default blink time from GetCaretBlinkTime(), which can be configured in
Control Panel.

Control Panel allows caret blinking to be disabled entirely, in which
case GetCaretBlinkTime() returns INFINITE. PuTTY wasn't handling this
case; if cursor blinking was enabled in PuTTY but disabled at the system
level, the terminal window would hang, blinking the cursor madly.

PuTTY source code README
========================

This is the README for the source code of PuTTY, a free Windows and
Unix Telnet and SSH client.

PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), the general method is
to run these commands in the source directory:

  cmake .
  cmake --build .

These commands will expect to find a usable compile toolchain on your
path. So if you're building on Windows with MSVC, you'll need to make
sure that the MSVC compiler (cl.exe) is on your path, by running one
of the 'vcvars32.bat' setup scripts provided with the tools. Then the
cmake commands above should work.

To install in the simplest way on Linux or Mac:

  cmake --build . --target install

On Unix, pterm would like to be setuid or setgid, as appropriate, to
permit it to write records of user logins to /var/run/utmp and
/var/log/wtmp. (Of course it will not use this privilege for
anything else, and in particular it will drop all privileges before
starting up complex subsystems like GTK.) The cmake install step
doesn't attempt to add these privileges, so if you want user login
recording to work, you should manually ch{own,grp} and chmod the
pterm binary yourself after installation. If you don't do this,
pterm will still work, but not update the user login databases.

Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory. If you aren't using one of our source snapshots,
you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be found at
<https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
