Is it possible to mount the registry into the filesystem? I'd love it if one could use 
commands like 'ls', 'diff' and 'find' on the registry, treating keys as directories and 
values as files. I have a vague recollection of a posting about this a long while back, 
but I can't for the life of me find it. Ultimately my goal is to get a diff from two 
different registry roots. The regtool utility doesn't seem so flexible. Any pointers much 
appreciated.

William
