Excellent, you spray formats like a Gatling gun! I have a suggestion
though: IMHO this format should be called "putty" instead of ppk (unless
there are other possible putty formats?). And several of your other
recent formats are totally unkown to me, with abbreviations like sxc, nk
and pfx. In several cases, a tad longer format label would much more
self-descriptive.
And even more important, the FORMAT_NAME should be *much* more
descriptive. I have a vague memory pfx is something very common, but it
just says "pfx" even in FORMAT_NAME and I just don't know what it is
without searching list archives.
