and to keep (and document!) the _winreg extension with the understanding that it's a wrapper around poorly designed API but at least it's very close to the C API. The leading underscore should be a hint that this is not a module for every day use.

It is documented (as _winreg), but I've not reviewed the section in great detail (yet!). It will need to be revised to not refer to the winreg module as the preferred API.
