winecfg: Restrict dpi slider to sane values.
Dan, this basically reverted commit 0110512904d9c646abef416819a057c06d3f2c97, which bumped MAXDPI from 160 to 480 because some users specifically requested the ability for higher DPI settings.
I think we need to decide what we want and stop the tug-o-war.
Please see bug 9715.
480 was completely unusable; average Joes were setting it at random and were unable to use winecfg to reset it to something sane.
I found a few monitors out there at 200 dpi, so perhaps that would be a reasonable upper limit, but we'd have to check to make sure that the average person with a crap monitor could set that to 200dpi, realize it was wrong, and set it back without having to edit the registry by hand.

Why not wizardify it? "Enter the physical size of your screen: x in/cm y in/cm" Then use appropriate dpi based on current resolution? Does it not work like that?
