Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH 8/12] hivex: Add HIVEX_OPEN_WRITE flag to allow hive to be opened for writing.

Subject: [PATCH 08/12] hivex: Add HIVEX_OPEN_WRITE flag to allow hive to be opened for writing. If this flag is omitted (as in the case for all existing callers) then the hive is still opened read-only. We add a 'writable' flag to the hive handle, and we change the way that the hive file (data) is stored. The data is still mmapped if the file is opened read-only, since that is more efficient and allows us to handle larger hives. However if we need to write to the file then we have to read it all into memory, since if we had to extend the file we need to realloc that data. Note the manpage section L</WRITING TO HIVE FILES> comes in a later commit.
