oh, got it! an ugly but functional workaround would be to store the defaults 
in the preferences (windows registry) and then use the load defaults button to 
take those stored values rather than the hard coded values.  should work on 
other systems as well and the extra bloat to the .hugin file (or the windows 
registry) is not tragic.  Then the installer would modify those values too, 
and unless somebody fiddles with the registry (or with the .hugin file) it 
should be robust enough.
