I didn't think '/' would be an exceptable within a key name, but it is. Well
my (unnecessary) patch fails (as does Corinna's translate):

$ regtool list
'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoProxyTypes\Application/x-internet-signup'
Default
DllFile
FileExtensions

$ regtool list
/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/AutoProxyTypes/Application/x-internet-signup
Error: The system cannot find the file specified.

I guess it's probably more reliable to use those pesky backslashes then!
