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.

PuTTY source for the word XXX-REMOVE-BEFORE-RELEASE, and not release
until I've got rid of all of them. Hence, here's an addition to the
release checklist which will remind me to do so.
I don't want this mechanism to seriously inhibit a release by being
a placeholder for a large piece of work we might never get round to.
It should be used only in cases where it's _simple_ to change the
offending code: for example, a performance-impacting diagnostic
might be invaluable while testing nightly snapshots but wouldn't
want to slow down everyone's next release, and it's easy to get rid
of on release day.

trying to _follow_ it for the first time :-) And also due to the
fact that it now needs to mention the Unix source tarball as well.

This menu is not yet fully populated, but it has an About box (yet
another licence location :-/ ) and supports the new configurable
specials menu (thus making Unix PuTTY do one tiny thing which
OpenSSH-in-a-pterm can't :-).

we had one or two official checklists. This file lists the locations
of _all_ the copies of the licence and the copyright dates, all the
files in CVS which need to know the current version number, and also
lays out the release procedure since I always find it terribly
fiddly to do it all in the right order.
PLEASE KEEP THESE LISTS UP TO DATE, people! Anyone adds a new copy
of the licence or the copyright notice, shout about it in here.
Likewise any file that needs to know the current release number and
can't get away with referencing LATEST.VER.
