This series of patches prepares the way for a later series which will add write support for Windows Registry 'hive' files to our 'hivex' mini library. About hivex: http://libguestfs.org/hivex.3.html About the Windows Registry: Forget it - there are no reliable references. However the Wikipedia page explains some of the top level concepts:

I'm not entirely sure the generator/generator.ml changes are as correct as they could be. I'm not very familiar with Caml. The hivex_node_set_value call builds up a list of hive_set_values by walking the existing values at the node, adding or replacing the passed hive_set_value as necessary, then shoving the list at hivex_node_set_values. Not included: Perl or OCaml binding glue.

Added Perl binding glue and a simple test along the lines of present tests. (And again: I'm not on the list, please CC me on replies.

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

Per discussion on IRC, here are two changes to convert all TABs-as-indentation to spaces. The first one is the fully-automated conversion. However, note that the command mentioned uses a file (the .x-sc* one) that is added only in the following patch. The second patch adds rules to help keep things that way: Document and enforce the new spaces-only indentation policy. * cfg.mk
