* Remove the "version suffix" and BUILD_INFO.txt mechanisms, which I
believe no one uses except winpty itself. Instead, a suffix can be
added in the VERSION.txt file.
* Instead of passing the version and commit info as a preprocessor macro
when building every C++ file, write the info into a GenVersion.h
header that is only included by WinptyVersion.cc.
* Instead of writing a BUILD_INFO.txt in ship.py, pass COMMIT_HASH=<hash>
to make.
These changes accomplish two things:
* People who build a tag from source won't see a "<ver>-dev" suffix
anymore.
* Changing the version or the commit will correctly rebuild the version
object files (and only those object files). It will also relink every
binary.

* Add a src/configurations.gypi file that can be included on the gyp
command-line to enable 32-bit and 64-bit builds in the generated project
files.
* Make winpty.gyp work if gyp is run with Cygwin python. It still works
with normal python.
* This change reduces the total build time from about 14 seconds to about
9 seconds on my computer.
Also:
* Consolidate all the intermediate files into the build directory to
reduces clutter.
* Allow specifying UNIX_ADAPTER_EXE to make. Perhaps this will be helpful
to the MSYS2 fork, which renames console.exe to winpty.exe. (I like
the renaming, but I don't know about the other winpty users. Maybe
I'll make the change after I've put out another stable release...)
* Rename the WINPTY define to COMPILING_WINPTY_DLL define. The longer
name is clearer. I define the macro inside libwinpty/winpty.cc, so the
build system no longer needs to. (I removed the define from
winpty.gyp.)
* Consolidate config-unix.mk and config-mingw.mk into config.mk. The
separation was previously necessary because each file had a conflicting
definition of CXX.
* Rename the UNIX_LDFLAGS_STATIC_LIBSTDCXX macro to UNIX_LDFLAGS_STATIC,
because libstdc++ isn't the only thing I'm linking statically.
Peter Rekdal submitted the original version of this file. I made some
minor changes.
Update the .gitignore file to ignore files generated by building winpty
with MSVC.
My plan now is to integrate the PseudoConsole with Cygwin and MSYS ptys,
with initial focus on Cygwin. I think I'll keep the separate Agent and DLL
binaries, and they'll continue to be native Win32 binaries. I don't want
to have two build systems (qmake vs whatever MSYS/Cygwin uses), and since
I'd like to remove the Qt dependency anyway, I'm trying to switch to
makefiles.
* Add a note on how to use instsrv and srvany.
* First look for Agent.exe in the same directory as TestNetServer.exe
before looking for the executable in the build directory that Qt
Creator uses.
* Write a script that copies MinGW/Qt DLLs to a single directory.
- Add a very incomplete "telnet" server. It doesn't recognize any telnet
commands, so it's "telnet" only in the sense that I can connect to the
server and type commands. The commands are fed to a Win32 Console, but
I don't get to see the output over the network.
- Move AgentClient to the Shared directory and move QtEvent-specific code
out of it.
- Move the startShell routine into the AgentClient so I can share it
between the different console-consuming prototypes.
