nonstandard port number when loading a saved session.
Occurs because those tools include be_none.c which defines no entries
in backends[] at all, as a result of which settings.c doesn't
recognise the word 'ssh' in the saved session's protocol field and
instead sets the protocol to something idiotic - which _then_ means
that when pscp.c forces the protocol to PROT_SSH, it also resets the
port number as it would when overriding a saved session specifying a
protocol other than SSH.
The immediate solution is to define a new be_ssh.c citing only
ssh_backend, and include that in the SSH-only tools. However, I wonder
if a better approach (perhaps when I redesign session loading and
saving) would be not to be so clever, and just have all the tools
contain a complete list of known protocol names for purposes of
understanding what's in the saved session data, and complain if you
try to use one they don't know how to actually speak.

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.
