What does __MINGW32__ mean for shell code? The registry reading
should just be ignored if registry access 'reg.exe' is not available.
However, the code was not yet robust. I pushed the patch below to
4msysgit.git's mob.

commit 816f61fecd9e90879afcbad9234f19bf6d982b76

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.
