Perhaps we want to distinguish between "defaults" and "settings," which 
override the defaults.  For example, we could just return default registry 
values (of the settings with defaults) when they aren't really there.  That 
way new defaults could be hardcoded in source or winedefault.reg, and 
updating your wine would update any defaults you haven't overridden... such 
an approach could make things a little screwy from winecfg's perspective 
however.
