This is certainly nothing to do with the PuTTY developers; if it's a
program that you can run on a Windows machine which you've logged in
to using SSH, then it won't matter whether your SSH client was PuTTY
or something else. It _might_ be more important what your SSH server
was, but probably that doesn't matter either.

If it were me, I'd just stick it on your own website for the moment,
and if anyone else posts in here wanting a similar thing, give them
the URL and see if they find it useful. No point going through the
SourceForge admin process until you're sure it's going to be worth
it.
