Summary: _winreg specifies EnvironmentError instead of WindowsError

Initial Comment:
The _winreg documentation says that EnvironmentError
will be raised (throughout the docs, for various
reasons), when, in every case, WindowsError is actually
raised.

A simple replace of WindowsError for EnvironmentError
would fix this.  (Let me know if you really need a patch).
