Transparency slider

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently MinTTY has 4 radio buttons for degrees of transparency: Off, Low,
Medium, and High.

It would be nice if instead it had a slider and textbox, allowing custom
degrees of transparency. It would also be useful if you could see the
window change as you adjusted the transparency settings so that you could
fine-tune your settings without having to exit and re-invoke a modal dialog.

You can press the Apply button to see a change without closing the options 
dialog.
Which isn't modal btw, because you can continue working in the terminal window 
while
it's up.

There is a lot to be said for options that take immediate effect, but that's not
generally the Windows way.

Agreed on the slider. The reason it doesn't use one already is that PuTTY's 
"config
box toolkit" didn't contain one.

I've added the ability to set arbitrary transparency values ranging from 0 to 
254 in the config file or using the -o option on the command line.
