attempt to load WS2 and then fall back to WS1 if that fails. This
should allow us to use WS2-specific functionality to find out the
local system's list of IP addresses, thus fixing winnet-if2lo, while
degrading gracefully back to the previous behaviour if that
functionality is unavailable. (I haven't yet actually done this; I've
just laid the groundwork.)
This checkin _may_ cause instability; it seemed fine to me on
initial testing, but it's a bit of an upheaval and I wouldn't like
to make bets on it just yet.

`Special Command' menu, in which any backend can place its own list
of magical things the user might want to ask the backend to do. In
particular I've implemented the recently proposed "break" extension
in SSH2 using this mechanism.
NB this checkin slightly breaks the Mac build, since it needs to
provide at least a stub form of update_specials_menu().

opaque to all platform-independent modules and only handled within
per-platform code. `Filename' is there because the Mac has a magic
way to store filenames (though currently this checkin doesn't
support it!); `FontSpec' is there so that all the auxiliary stuff
such as font height and charset and so on which is needed under
Windows but not Unix can be kept where it belongs, and so that I can
have a hope in hell of dealing with a font chooser in the forthcoming
cross-platform config box code, and best of all it gets the horrid
font height wart out of settings.c and into the Windows code where
it should be.
The Mac part of this checkin is a bunch of random guesses which will
probably not quite compile, but which look roughly right to me.
Sorry if I screwed it up, Ben :-)

to consult cfg.logxfovr, because it gets done once in logging.c.
askappend() is now called only when a question _really_ needs to be
asked of the user. Also in this checkin, cleanup_exit() in console.c
no longer consults cfg.protocol to decide whether to save the random
seed, because random_save_seed() can make that decision for itself
and do it better.

absent, and also (I think) all the frontend request functions (such
as request_resize) take a context pointer, so that multiple windows
can be handled sensibly. I wouldn't swear to this, but I _think_
that only leaves the Unicode stuff as the last stubborn holdout.

now be processed in cmdline.c, which is called from all utilities
(well, not Pageant or PuTTYgen). This should mean we get to
standardise almost all options across almost all tools. Also one
major change: `-load' is now the preferred option for loading a
saved session in PuTTY proper. `@session' still works but is
deprecated.

Specifically, we explicitly closesocket() all open sockets, which
appears to be necessary since otherwise Windows sends RST rather
than FIN. I'm _sure_ that's a Windows bug, but there we go.

of scp.c, psftp.c and plink.c into it. Additionally, add `batch
mode', in which all the interactive prompts (bad host key, log file
exists, insecure cipher, password prompt) are disabled and safe
responses are assumed. (The idea being that if you run PSCP, for
example, in a cron job then you'd probably rather it failed and
exited instead of leaving the cron job wedged while it waits for
user input that will never arrive.)
