It's never set to anything but NULL at any call site, and there's been a FIXME comment in uxucs.c for ages saying it should be removed. I think it only existed in the first place because it was a facility supported by the underlying Windows API function and we couldn't see a reason _not_ to pass it through. But I'm cleaning up FIXMEs, so we should get rid of it. (It stood for 'default used', incidentally - as in 'did the function at any point have to make use of the parameter providing a default fallback character?'. Nothing to do with _defusing_ things :-)
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?
