I'll have to be honest that I haven't looked over the code yet, but I
do have a concern.  Do these values have to be stored under
Software\Wine?  That location is for wine-specific configuration
options and not api use, unless I'm mistaken.  Do we know if this data
is stored in the registry in windows, and if so where is it stored?
(because I know it's not Software\Wine ;-)
