Change default Glulx interpreter about garglk

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Git 1.2.1 lacks memory allocation / heap support, but otherwise seems to support
every Glulx feature, and I think it still deserves its status as the default
interpreter.

Then in Windows that you can choose which interpreter to use. Please! = P

Oh, additionally: the only thing that Damusix uses and that does not work well 
in GIT
is the opcode "@protect".

I think the @protect opcode depends on heap / memory allocation support, which 
allows
Glulx to claim more virtual memory at runtime.  Glulx starts with a little, but 
if
it's used up the interpreter needs to allocate more.

Presently Git does not have this feature.  I'll see about setting a 
configuration
option for the Glulx interpreter.  That would have been useful in my own tests, 
since
the "rename" trick is pretty cumbersome.

New ini settings allow user to override terp defaults based on the game 
filename or
the extension.  Changing all Glulx games to use Glulxe instead of Git should 
now be
painless.
