Thanks.

I think this should have read "IPBT's man page". (Another occurrence
below.) It's too late to fix this now obviously.

FTR, I think I would instead have added an affordance to the upstream
PuTTY build systtem to allow use of mancfg.but to be suppressed by a
make variable or environment varisble or something. But maybe you
don't want to many *any* changes to PuTTY to benefit this weird ipbt
thing.
Anyway, thanks. I'll merge your fix into the Debian branch.
Ian.
