Not much, it basically means making the Wine/Config branch into a
normal registry branch. It's more a user interface issue, we need
tools to edit it because you don't want to make users dig through
system.reg manually.

Part of it should be done with DllRegisterServer, the rest can be
handled by the .inf script. And I think it's OK to add the necessary
DllRegisterServer entry points even if the native dll doesn't have
them.

It should be, setupapi should support everything we need for that. The
main missing feature is the user interface feedback on the install
progress, but we can probably live without that at first.
