This is the first part (of three) of a set of changes to support
merging Windows Registry entries from the common 'regedit' format.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575738
This adds a Perl library Win::Hivex::Regedit which supports two
functions for importing and exporting the format.
I've tested this on some real output from the Windows regedit.exe
program successfully. However these files are not well specified, and
therefore there are bound to be undiscovered inconsistencies and
corner cases.
The second part will add a command line tool to hivex for merging a
regedit file with a local hive. The third part will involve enhancing
virt-win-reg to support this for VMs.
