patch for /proc/registry read/write??

Hello everybody,
I've just downloaded the 1.3.12-2 version and was surprised to see that the
registry-patch (which was heavily discussed in february, if I recall
correctly) has made it into the mainline.
But one question remains: Is there a patch for read/write support? I know that
this starts the old problem of specifying the kind of value (dword, sz,
multi-sz, binary, ...) but maybe this could by done by the extension
(possibly seperated by a : as this ain't used in cygwin), so eg. name:sz or
value:dword.
What I'd like to achieve is to use rsync on the registry - to get the registry
into a known state.
I don't think that the naming scheme gives consistency problems - if I write a
file name:sz it isn't guaranteed (in unix semantics) that name:dword isn't
deleted in the same moment.
Any help appreciated!
Regards,
Phil
