but this needs to be done in a "portable" way... ie still using the 
registry settings which are in a "all that's listed" semantics, not a 
"first that works" semantics
So, it would mean, for example, extending -potentially- each regular 
registry for a driver, into something which lists the possible drivers 
and stops the loading when the first one succeeds.
