how about using two 32bit DWORDs?

for backward compatibility, the existing DWORD saves the lower 32 bit and the 
new DWORD would save the higher 32 bit.

On read:
- read legacy DWORD.
- try to read the new DWORD.
- If not existing, set to zero.
- Shift 32 bits.
- Add the two.
- apply the value.

On write:
- decompose the 64 bit value into high 32 and low 32
- write high 32 to new DWORD and low 32 to legacy DWORD

And a path to the future:  when a newer version of wxWidgets that supports 
QWORD becomes widely available, the legacy DWORD can be silenty upgraded to a 
QWORD and the (temporary) new DWORD can be deleted / ignored.

I've added this quickly to default but I do not have Windows and can't test if 
it builds nor if it makes sense.  Please check

Title:
  Image cache memory can't be set above 2047MB

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  When setting the image cache memory (file/preferences/general) to any value above 2047MB it resets to 1MB.

  If I then click cancel, it does not stay at 2047, but goes ahead and
  sets the cache to 1MB.
