Use symlinks in dosdevices/ for the drive devices too.
Store drive types in the registry instead of in the config file.
Added some more code to convert existing config to the new scheme.

+DOS drives are also specified with symlinks; for instance if drive D:
+corresponds to the CDROM mounted at /mnt/cdrom, you'd have a symlink
+$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/d: -> /mnt/cdrom. The Unix device corresponding
+to a DOS drive can be specified the same way, except with '::' instead

+$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/d:: -> /dev/hdc.
