For the time being, using the registry API to delete the keys will be
fine.  We do the same thing for the install tests (using DeleteFile to
delete the installed files).  Eventually we'll be able to just call
install again wtih REMOVE, but uninstalls is unimplemented in Wine,
and it's a really low priority.
