winemenubuilder knows what associations it created, and should be able to
delete them all. Users may also wish to enable/disable associations at any
point, not just when the WINEPREFIX is first being created. Maybe we should
have a "Remove all associations" button instead, or some other UI, eg. a
combined Gecko/Mono/menus/associations/etc. dialog that sets the desired
settings from the start?
