    mergetool: fixed parsing of registry entry for kdiff3

    The old code failed on Windows Vista. The output of
    reg.exe or something else may be a bit different.
    This patch improves the parsing code to be more robust.

I seem to remember that you can't rely on reg.exe being available on
Windows.  The Microsoft support pages talk about using regedit.exe
instead (which is quite more cumbersome).
