It appears that someone (hmm, seems to be Chris Morgan) broke wineinstall
- he seems to have removed the code that reads the CROOT from an existing
wine.conf (such as the wine.conf that tools/wineconf generates from
existing Windows installations). As a result, wineinstall is unable to
find anything on the Windows installation, including an existing registry.

regapi should NOT be compiled and should NOT install default registry
entries when a real Windows registry exist. Almost fortunate that the
below error appeared...

Missing backslashes... apparently someone (seems to be Andreas Mohr) fixed
wineconf incorrectly. He must have forgotten that the new config format
requires two backslashes, and that perl itself eats every other
backslash...
