There no longer is a problem as stated above.  Ahmad.Khalifa has written
his own Bidi implementation (miniBidi) and so we avoided any major issues
relating to GPL/LGPL and MIT.  So unless you are interested in how to solve
this problem for any potential OTHER projects then go for it, but there is
no PuTTY component as of now that relates to this issue.

FYI & Salam.
