Simon Tatham 7babe66a83 Make lots of generic data parameters into 'void *'.
This is a cleanup I started to notice a need for during the BinarySink
work. It removes a lot of faffing about casting things to char * or
unsigned char * so that some API will accept them, even though lots of
such APIs really take a plain 'block of raw binary data' argument and
don't care what C thinks the signedness of that data might be - they
may well reinterpret it back and forth internally.

So I've tried to arrange for all the function call APIs that ought to
have a void * (or const void *) to have one, and those that need to do
pointer arithmetic on the parameter internally can cast it back at the
top of the function. That saves endless ad-hoc casts at the call
sites.

README

This directory contains 'cygtermd', a small and specialist Telnet
server designed to act as middleware between PuTTY and a Cygwin shell
session running on the same machine, so that PuTTY can act as an
xterm-alike for Cygwin.

To install it, you must compile it from source using Cygwin gcc,
install it in Cygwin's /bin, and configure PuTTY to use it as a local
proxy process. For detailed instructions, see the PuTTY Wishlist page
