This is based on an older patch by Lubomir I. Ivanov <neolit123@gmail.com>
which no longer applies due to the refactoring of the registry setting
code.
It takes care of all of the casts between actual C types and the Windows
specific types that the Windows API functions expect. It also adds some
comments to the overloading of "value" in our subsurface_set_conf function.

Now that I can test Windows binaries again, the bugs were rather easy to
spot. Because of the different flow of the opening, writing and closing of
the registry key my first attempt got things wrong - we simply always
create the key with all access rights; if it exists Windows will just open
it for us. The second bug was a cut'n'paste error.

This should make the Makefile much more robust when cross compiling.
The windows.c code is now compile tested but not functionally tested.

This adds tested code for Linux and Mac OS, implementing the api that
Linus suggested.
The Windows code was moved into its own file, but hasn't even been compile
tested, yet.
In order to have just one interface to set or get a preference value we
encode TRUE as (void *) 1 and FALSE as NULL. This works consistently on
all platforms and regardless of whether we have 32 or 64 bit.
