I'm afraid that we've veered off the main topic a bit - is the license an issue (from the posts without clear answers it seems a forgone conclusion, is it) ? Is adding some LGPL code into PuTTY affect its MIT license ? We can always try to create our own, but why reinvent the wheel until we know for a fact we can't take FriBidi and simply strip it down to the bare essentials.
