I can't comment on that since I don't know anything much
about the MS registry and the entries used for the various
versions. Isn't there some page page on MSDN that explains
these ?

I do have one nit with your patch, though: could you please
remove the inline function check_registry() and instead use
a regular if-then-else for this ?

Thanks.
