The registry should not be used at all. Some IT departments lock it
down so only
a administrator can install things, and if it is not one of their
'things' it does not get installed.
There is no reasoning with Mordoc.

The best approach to these 'finding things' under Windows is to use
Environment Variables,
set in a batch file.

$HOME/.pcb works fine but $HOME/_pcb should be a working alternative as well.

Any reason DJGPP M4 won't work? I have all of those tools, M4, gawk,
Perl in my path.
Obviously we can't install those as part of gEDA/PCB but we can tell
people that they should,
and detect them if they are available.
