Setup .inf files

[Chris Morgan]

Alright, here is another revision of the patch this time using the 
RegisterDlls section to register the dlls.  The new inf file can be processed 
by running:

programs/rundll32/rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 
132 ./default.inf

Brian Vincent added the NLS and Telephony\Country List sections so the inf 
file should be pretty close to complete.  I'd imagine several registry keys 
were missed although I'm not sure how to tell except by manual inspection of 
winedefault.reg vs. the registry after installing the inf.

I left in the implementations for RunPre/PostSetupCommands sections.  I can't 
find anything on msdn about these sections but I've found several references 
to them by googling.  There seems to be some connection to advpack.dll.

Comments, questions, patches welcome ;-)

Thanks,
Chris
