Public bug reported:

Hugin 2014 RC4 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4

The "Programs" preference pane is a bit confusing in the section on
using alternatives to enblend (and enfuse).

1. The text, I think, should be "Use alternative to enblend", rather
than "Use alternative Enblend program", which implies that there might
be another thing called enblend (which I don't think is what is
intended, though perhaps I am wrong here).

2. Checking the box allows for entry of another executable, yet the
label to the right of that field says "enblend executable", which is
confusing. Instead enblend should never have to be written there, and
Hugin should not worry about that field unless the box is checked.
(Obviously I have no idea whether it actually does check it, but the
pane gives that appearance.)

3. Checking the box and then putting in a new executable name and
unchecking the box right away causes the field not to be saved. It
should be. Closing prefs before unchecking does save the field.

4. The default arguments are universal, and not executable specific.
They shouldn't be. That way, new arguments don't have to be entered upon
changing the checkbox.
