regcreateval "(default)"? (was Re: ILOVEYOU version 2.0 ..)

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

hey, peter, you wanna add some parsing of [DWORD] instead of 1, etc?

needs a str_to_enum_field() in lib/util_str.c which does the reverse,
surprisingly, of enum_field_to_str().

str_to_enum_field should accept numbers as well as the string.
