+          This test will never work on Win98, because it's looking for
+          a part of registry that doesn't exist under W98.
+          The module (winreg.py) and this test case will be removed
+          before 2.0 for other reasons, though.

           anymore; eyeballing Fred's changes didn't turn up
           a suspect either
+          19-Aug-2000, tim: the "subtle bug" in regrtest.py -v is
+          actually a feature:  -v masks *some* kinds of failures,
+          since it doesn't compare test output with the canned
+          output; this is what makes it say "test passed" even
+          in some cases where the test fails without -v
          ]

      Decide what to do about os.path.commonprefix.  Then do it.
+     [19-Aug-2000 tim
+      Guido msg on Python-Dev:
+      - restore the old behavior on all platforms
+      - add to the docs that to get the common directory you use dirname()
+      - add testcases that check that this works on all platforms
+      - don't add commonpathprefix(), because dirname() already does it
+     ]
+ 
+     Remove winreg.py and test_winreg2.py.  Paul Prescod (the author)
+     now wants to make a registry API more like the MS .NET API.  Unclear
+     whether that can be done in time for 2.0, but, regardless, if we
+     let winreg.py out the door we'll be stuck with it forever, and not
+     even Paul wants it anymore.
