[ros-dev] A call for help getting putty working

[art yerkes]

I'm hoping to get putty working to use as another test case for the network
code.  I'm running into problems right now, however and could really use
a hand.

There are two versions of putty in here, built with symbols as well as a
diff against the original sources and a mingw-able makefile named 
makefile.mgw

I haven't tried the mingw makefile on windows but it shouldn't take too
much effort.

putty-noshow differs from the release putty only in that it contains
debug messages and symbols.  The putty dialog is created and the caret
timer even fires, but the window is never shown.  w3seek thinks that
the dialog functions in user32 and win32k are correct, but the dialog
shows on windows and wine so something is wrong.

If I add a ShowWindow as in putty-show, the dialog shows, so the
problem is clearly in reactos.

I'm seeing some random crashes as well accessing the registry that
will be the subject of another mail.

Here's a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between two locomotives
which are pushing on you with equal force in opposite directions. You will
exhibit no net motion. None the less, you may soon begin to notice that
something important is happening.
