r19991: Sorry for this 2000-liner...

The main thing here is a rewrite of srv_winreg_nt.c. The core functionality
has moved to registry/reg_api.c which is then usable by the rest of Samba as
well.

On that way it fixes creating keys with more than one element in the
path. This did not work before.

Two things that sneaked in (sorry :-) is the change of some routines from
NTSTATUS to WERROR the removed "parent" argument to regkey_open_internal.
