After a conversation this week with a user who tried to use it, it's
clear that Borland C can't build the up-to-date PuTTY without having
to make too many compromises of functionality (unsupported API
details, no 'long long' type), even above the issues that could be
worked round with extra porting ifdefs.
(In a XXX-REVIEW-BEFORE-RELEASE form.)
Also, note the effect of compilation with different Visual Studio
versions on Windows version compatibility in the source README, for the
sake of having it written down somewhere.
I've reset the baseline to be the version of mingw-w64 that comes with
Ubuntu 14.04. Right now, that means no features need to be omitted; all
you need to do is set TOOLPATH to i686-w64-mingw32- .
I've removed -mno-cygwin without comment. Toolchains which don't support
this flag have been around since at least 2012, so we can probably
assume that no-one cares about older toolchains by now.
It's really only useful with MinGW rather than a Cygwin toolchain these
days, as recent versions of the latter insist against linking with the
Cygwin DLL.
(I think it may no longer be possible to build with Cygwin out of the
box at all these days, but I'm not going to say so without having
actually checked that's the case. Settle for listing MinGW first in
various comments and docs.)
the real configure script from the unix subdirectory, but with cwd
unchanged so that you end up doing a VPATH build in the top-level
source directory.
Should, ideally, placate the people who expect 'configure' to be at
the top level, while still letting _me_ keep all the Unix-specific
stuff in the Unix subdirectory.

--without-gtk as a means of manually overriding the makefile into one
building the command-line tools only (as it would if GTK were not
found at all at configure time).

mkfiles.pl no longer generates a Makefile.in, but instead generates a
Makefile.am on which mkauto.sh runs automake. This means that the
autoconfigured makefile now does build-time dependency tracking (a
standard feature of automake-generated makefiles), and is generally
more like what Unix people will expect.
Some of the old-style make command-line settings (VER=-DRELEASE=foo,
XFLAGS=-DDEBUG) will still work; the COMPAT settings are better done
by autoconfiguration, and my habitual 'XFLAGS="-g -O0"' for an easily
debuggable build will actually not work any more because CFLAGS is
specified _after_ XFLAGS, so I should instead write 'make CFLAGS=-O0'
(-g is the default in automake, removed at 'make install' time).
The new makefile will automatically degrade into one that builds the
command-line tools only, in the case where GTK could not be found. In
principle, therefore, it should be an adequate replacement for _both_
the static Unix makefiles, Makefile.gtk and Makefile.ux. I haven't
actually retired those in this commit, but I'm pretty tempted.

rather than relying on the user to edit the Makefile. Makefile.gtk
still works as well as it ever did, but now we get a Makefile.in alongside
it. mkunxarc.sh now relies on autoconf and friends to build the configure
script for the Unix source distribution.

long last to move all the Windows-specific source files down into a
`windows' subdirectory. Only platform-specific files remain at the
top level. With any luck this will act as a hint to anyone still
contemplating sending us a Windows-centric patch...

files as well as an nmake makefile. Needed line-end tweakery in
order to be able to generate usable project files when run on Unix,
but other than that appears fine. Ooh!

analysis (for both .c and .rc files). Generates the VC++ makefile as
well as the other two; the authoritative source is now the new file
`Recipe' rather than any particular Makefile. Note that `Makefile'
is still here as a relic of the old way until we stop the nightly
builds using it, but it'll be gone soon.
