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).

I successfully ran it on at least Windows XP and Vista. On Vista,
it was present on a quite fresh system (Visual Studio not yet
installed). So I'm quite confident that it's likely to be there.
Do you have a reference? I searched msdn and was not able to
immediately find the recommendation you're referring to.
