summary:
  Remove the winreg module from the project.  I don't believe any
docs changes are needed (only reference to winreg I could find
was in libwinreg.tex, which is documenting _winreg, and merely
mentions that a higher-level winreg module *may* appear someday;
that's still true).

     Remove winreg.py and test_winreg2.py.  Paul Prescod (the author)
