Ok, I will go ahead and start creating the patches to be able to delete the 
registry keys after each test (if there are leftovers of course).

Currently we will have loads of Windows boxes out there that have bogus registry 
keys. Should I first create a cleanup routine at the start of devinst.c ?

A problem I'm seeing is that more registry keys are added after reboots.
Running the tests on a clean machine adds bogus entries to 
HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet and there are 'links' from ControlSet001 for 
example. When I delete them before a reboot the 'links' are gone as well. When I 
however first reboot I've seen occasions where the keys can also be found at 
ControlSet002 (or 003 even). Deleting the keys in CurrentControlSet now doesn't 
remove them from ControlSet002 (or 003).

Another approach is of course to only do the cleanup afterwards which means we 
will have 1 run of tests that will fail.
