Microsoft have managed to write their Cm code in a very portable way so that the Hv* (Hive) and Cm* (NT Config Manager) APIs are very seperated. The result of this is that they've been able to share the registry code between the kernel and the boot loader. Is there any way we can do the same? Certaintly having two pieces of code that are very similar but have subtle differences creates only more avenues for bugs. (Casper, you agree?)
I think it is possible to share the code for the hive and the registry functions between freeldr and ntoskrnl. And we have three pieces of similar code. Mkhive can use the same routines.
