Maybe not to Microsoft's legal department, though.  It would be at
least wise to check with them rather than assuming they'd be glad to
see some of their "redistributables" redistributed this way (i.e., as
a part of a development environment).

Wrapping _winreg (or the win32all equivalent thereof) seems the
most clever option to me.  Such a wrapper might be part of some
Python distribution (or more sensibly of win32all).
