One way is to define a session in the PuTTY Configuration dialog (the
one that pops up when you click on the PuTTY icon on your desktop)
for each machine you intend to connect to via Tramp.  Be sure to
put your login name into the "Auto-Login username" field (under
"Connection"), to avoid plink's prompt for username.
