* Remove complicated and unreadable NSIS stuff. No need to have a installer for a developer application. ZIP file is fine.
* On startup, if a portable_settings.txt exists in the application folder, heidisql.exe will read its contents into a unique registry key.
* In MainForm.OnDestroy, settings are written to that file again, and the reg key gets deleted.
* Avoid using Microsoft's .reg file syntax, as you need admin privileges to store and restore such files, even when using the appropriate Windows API functions.
(Makes it mandatory to revert previous commit before releasing, as the installer doesn't save any reg value if the checkbox was unchecked. Then, the confirmation dialog should not appear!)

Drops function.txt and parser for that file.
Pros:
- No dependency on this file anymore
- Much easier and safer coding
- File-parsing no longer needed
Notes:
The old function.txt was meant to be editable and extensible for users but I never saw or heard anyone who does that, most likely because it wasn't documented. Another problem was that the file resided in the programs-directory, where only administrators have write-access, so in these cases it couldn't be edited anyway.
The PHP file in /extras can be used for creating an up-to-date list for mysql.pas .
As not all functions of the new list are available in all mysql-versions, it would be the best if we would fetch the list by the use of HELP commands. Contra: Would result in poor performancing popupmenu and many servers don't have the help-tables filled.
