Description:
In older Tcl releases for Windows, the variable
$::tclDefaultLibrary was filled with a value
retrieved from the registry.  That has not been
the case for some time now, but there are still
remnants of registry access code in win/tclWinInit.c.

This old code can only confuse us now, so here's
a patch to remove it.  Will someone with convenient
access to development on Windows please apply and
test this patch?

Note, this patch also fixes a bug where
on Windows, Tcl_Init() will search for
init.tcl in [pwd] before looking in the
standard search path.  This could cause,
ahem, surprising results.
