 Quite annoyingly the OSGEO4W setup always assigns the .qgs extension to
 the last installed version of QGIS stable or dev. The dev version is not
 meant for productive use, so I still want to open .qgs project files with
 the stable version by double-clicking on the file or the desktop shortcut
 to the file.

 It is possible to change the programme to open with, but Windows (7) does
 not like to connect to a bat file in that dialogue.
 Modifying the registry is not an easy task, nor reinstalling QGIS stable
 just to get back extension assignment.

 Therefore I suggest to leave out the extension registration for the qgis-
 dev package. Or ask the user if he wants it.
