Simon Tatham d93f7113d1 Rationalisation of the system of frontend handles. Most modular bits
of PuTTY (terminal, backend, logctx etc) take a `void *' handle
passed to them from the frontend, and used as a context for all
their callbacks. Most of these point at the frontend structure
itself (on platforms where this is meaningful), except that the
handle passed to the backend has always pointed at the terminal
because from_backend() was implemented in terminal.c. This has
finally bitten Unix PuTTY, because both backend and logctx have
been passing their respective and very different frontend handles to
logevent(), so I've fixed it.
from_backend() is now a function supplied by the _frontend_ itself,
in all cases, and the frontend handle passed to backends must be the
same as that passed to everything else. What was from_backend() in
terminal.c is now called term_data(), and the typical implementation
of from_backend() in a GUI frontend will just extract the terminal
handle from the frontend structure and delegate to that.
This appears to work on Unix and Windows, but has most likely broken
the Mac build.

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?
--------------------------------
