Should be no significant change in behaviour.
(Well, entering usernames containing commas on Plink's command line will be
a little harder now.)

The current pty.c backend is temporarily a loopback device for
terminal emulator testing, the display handling is only just enough
to show that terminal.c is functioning, the keyboard handling is
laughable, and most features are absent. Next step: bring output and
input up to a plausibly working state, and put a real pty on the
back to create a vaguely usable prototype. Oh, and a scrollbar would
be nice too.
In _theory_ the Windows builds should still work fine after this...

advantages:
- protocol modules can call sk_write() without having to worry
about writes blocking, because blocking writes are handled in the
abstraction layer and retried later.
- `Lost connection while sending' is a thing of the past.
- <winsock.h> is no longer needed in most modules, because
"putty.h" doesn't have to declare `SOCKET' variables any more,
only the abstracted `Socket' type.
- select()-equivalent between multiple sockets will now be handled
sensibly, which opens the way for things like SSH port
forwarding.

variant which is patent-safe in the US and legal in France and
Russia. This is a horrible hack in some ways: it's shown up serious
deficiencies in the module boundaries. Needs further work, probably
once the SSH implementations are recombined.
