Support for Windows Registry.
In hivex/: This mini-library allows us to extract Windows Registry binary files ("hives"). There are also two tools: hivexml converts a hive to a self-describing XML format. hivexget can be used to extract single subkeys from a hive. New tool: virt-win-reg. This is a wrapper around the library functionality allowing you to pull out data from the registries of Windows guests.
