to comp.security.ssh, posting queries that are clearly about PuTTY to
newsgroups without actually mentioning PuTTY, and so on. They may have been
directed there by this document :( Add a futile attempt to instil a sense of
etiquette.

Discourage more strongly mirrors in well-served areas in the Feedback section.
Also, duplicate that text on the Mirrors page, along with a request to tell us
the country (since lots of people still don't).

This was a bit rushed, and could doubtless be improved.
Also fix a couple of things I noted on the way, including:
- "pscp -ls" wasn't documented
- Windows XP wasn't mentioned enough

either read our minds or pay _very_ close attention to the code.

line for every single .but file at the bottom of each page of the
HTML PuTTY docs. However, we can't _always_ replace that with a
single SVN revision, because there isn't always one available (SVN
still allows mixed working copies in which some files are
deliberately checked out against a different revision).
Hence, here's a mechanism for doing better. It uses `svnversion .'
to determine _whether_ a single revision number adequately describes
the current directory, and replaces all the version IDs with that if
so. If it can't do that, it uses the version IDs as before.
Also, this allows an explicit version string to be passed on the
make command line which will override _both_ these possibilities, so
that release documentation can be clearly labelled with the release
version number.

I've done this by centralising information about newsgroups in feedback.but
and linking to that from elsewhere; I've also put in a link to Google Groups.

emphasis on screen shots in the hope of also decreasing the number
of _other_ large attachments we get.

now we have the ability to distribute a help file; so people won't
have to come to the website for the feedback information.)
