I've found, after several frustrating hours, that the API call
getreg() on Interix 5.2 with 64-bit (AMD for sure, likely Intel too)
is broken for registry values that are DWORD's (other types seem fine).
You will either get a DWORD value of 0x0 always (regardless of the
actual value) or the errno ENOENT for entries that exist.
*grumble*
