This commit changes substantially the way that we get information about Windows guests. We now use the Windows Registry to get information such as the version, product name and much else. This uses Win::Hivex (ie. the hivex library). 'reged' is no longer needed or used. As an incidental change, this also tries harder to search for %systemroot%, in the case when we cannot find boot.ini (ie. Windows Vista and more recent). This ensures we can get more detail from those versions of Windows.
Sys::Guestfs ------------ This directory contains the Perl bindings for the libguestfs API. The basic libguestfs bindings have the name 'Sys::Guestfs'. As with all other language bindings, these bindings are generated automatically. See src/generator.ml. Sys::Guestfs::Lib ----------------- Because we use Perl for writing lots of additional tools around libguestfs, the Perl bindings also contain an extra library of useful functions, called 'Sys::Guestfs::Lib'. This extra library is entirely optional, and only enhances the usefulness of the ordinary libguestfs API. One of the features of this library is tighter libvirt integration.
