With this patch, the winreg module is now completely unicode: it only
uses Windows wide-char API functions, and all strings (keys, subkeys,
values) are passed untranslated. str8 is banned, and byte objects are
only allowed for raw binary data.

Note: It seems a good approach to use the wide-char Windows API whenever
possible. They fit very well with PyUnicode strings, and simplify the
code...

While I agree with the principle (use wide APIs where possible), I'd
like to point out that they don't work on Windows 95 (at least some
don't; if you link with MSLU, you get some more to work); that was the
major reason not to use them in the past. This is no issue for Python
3000, of course, since Windows 1995 is not supported anymore.
