A very miscellaneous set of cleanups to how we handle the Windows registry in virt-v2v, firstboot, and inspection code. This should all be straightforward non-controversial refactoring. Some highlights: - Add a new mllib Registry module containing various utility functions that are currently scattered all around. - Only compute the software/system hive paths once during inspection, and

This patch is just for discussion. There are still a couple of issues that I'm trying to fix. One is that all of the test guests I have, even ones with static IPs, have multiple interfaces, some using DHCP, so the conditions for adding the Powershell script don't kick in. This makes testing very awkward. However a bigger issue is that I think the premise is wrong. In some registries

OCaml 4.02 introduced the 'bytes' type, a mutable string intended to replace the existing 'string' type for those cases where the byte array can be mutated. In future the 'string' type will become immutable. This is not the default now, but it can be forced using the '-safe-string' compile option. I tested this on Fedora 24 (OCaml 4.02) & RHEL 7 (OCaml 4.01).

v1 was here with much discussion: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-December/msg00048.html v2: - Fix the case where there are multiple interfaces. Note this does not preserve order correctly (see patch for comment on why that is a hard problem). - Preserve name servers. This patch is still for discussion only. I'd like to see what might be done to get this upstream
