PuTTY is often used to remotely log in to a Unix system from a
Windows system.

It sets TERM to "xterm" by default, but I'm thinking about changing
that to "putty". Some highlight color combinations that look good
on a real xterm or on a GNOME Terminal look horrible on PuTTY, and
knowing which terminal I'm really using would allow my color scheme
to set better highlight colors.
