Simon Tatham 4d8782e74f Rework versioning system to not depend on Subversion.
I've shifted away from using the SVN revision number as a monotonic
version identifier (replacing it in the Windows version resource with
a count of days since an arbitrary epoch), and I've removed all uses
of SVN keyword expansion (replacing them with version information
written out by Buildscr).

While I'm at it, I've done a major rewrite of the affected code which
centralises all the computation of the assorted version numbers and
strings into Buildscr, so that they're all more or less alongside each
other rather than scattered across multiple source files.

I've also retired the MD5-based manifest file system. A long time ago,
it seemed like a good idea to arrange that binaries of PuTTY would
automatically cease to identify themselves as a particular upstream
version number if any changes were made to the source code, so that if
someone made a local tweak and distributed the result then I wouldn't
get blamed for the results. Since then I've decided the whole idea is
more trouble than it's worth, so now distribution tarballs will have
version information baked in and people can just cope with that.

README

This subdirectory contains a general character-set conversion
library, used in the Unix port of PuTTY, and available for use in
other ports if it should happen to be useful.

This is a variant of a library that's currently used in some other
programs such as Timber and Halibut. At some future date, we would
like to merge the two libraries, so that all programs use the same
libcharset.

It is therefore a _strong_ design goal that this library should remain
perfectly general, and not tied to particulars of PuTTY. It must not
reference any code outside its own subdirectory; it should not have
PuTTY-specific helper routines added to it unless they can be
documented in a general manner which might make them useful in other
circumstances as well.
