It was me. But maybe this whole discussion is obsolete if emacsclient.exe is
ported to ms windows. I guess it will then recognize where it is loaded from
and that will make all the registry keys in Software\GNU\Emacs unnecessary.
Until that is done I think that no value except emacs_dir should be written.
Maybe cleaning can wait. (I do not know if the other values are ever read
now?)
