I can't comment on technical details and I don't think it's a dumb idea.
However, I dislike the idea of using Windows registry. At least the
official CrossWire frontend has the idea of being self-contained and not
contaminating anything outside the installation directory. We should
follow the same idea, especially if other frontends do likewise.
