NOTES: Latest putty is based on GTK1.

GTK1 is completely obsolete and just that is enough to reject this package.

putty is a very handy tool when dealing with embedded hardware. I
myself use it to access embedded devices with redboot bootloader over
telnet. The advantage of putty over openssh in that context is.. it
automatically CTRL ^C the boot process - this is a big challenge with
openssh! Just to provide a definite usecase!

Best,
Rupert
