> Using putty was never the pinnacle of professionalism and open source auditing anyway Huh? The source is available on the original site and TTBOMK always has

  No one in the history of humanity has compiled a tool from source in windows

    Apologies, detecting sarcasm on the Internet is always tricky, but relevant to this discussion I have even gone so far as to make a CMake descriptor for PuTTY because I was compiling on Windows to fix some quirk that I didn't like (it was so many years ago I don't recall, but I did recall thinking "whhhhyyyyy!!!" to people that do cutesy home-grown build systems) However, it seems that the universe heard my pleas https://git.tartarus.org/?p=simon/putty.git;a=commit;h=c19e7215ddd1d6a890fdb94d89bc5ccb46151363 https://git.tartarus.org/?p=simon/putty.git;a=commit;h=c19e7... Replace mkfiles.pl with a CMake build system For context, I believe that a tool isn't open source unless I can build it, so I actually build almost anything I can from source for that reason

      Congratulations on being the first to build something from source on Windows! (It's more of hyperbole than sarcasm.)
