[josm-dev] Windows-Installer: default projection is WGS84

Hi,

I just tried the windows installer and it creates the following default 
preference file:

   projection=org.openstreetmap.josm.data.projection.Epsg4326
   layerlist.visible=true
   selectionlist.visible=true
   commandstack.visible=true
   propertiesdialog.visible=true
   osm-server.url=http://www.openstreetmap.org/api
   laf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
   plugins=openstreetbugs;remotecontrol;validator;wmsplugin

Especially interesting is the first line, where it puts WGS84 as default 
projection. Why is that? Shall we change it to JOSM's default projection 
(Mercator - EPSG:3857)?

I would trim this file to

   laf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
   plugins=openstreetbugs;remotecontrol;validator;wmsplugin

everything else takes a proper default value. (Which was not always the 
case, so I understand it used to be necessary in the past.)
