Summary: Add Unicode versions for Registry functions

Initial Comment:
pywin32 build 211 has additional functions added for Unicode strings, like: RegEnumKeyExW, RegQueryInfoKeyW.

However, RegOpenKeyExW and RegQueryValueExW are missing... causing problems on Japanese and Chinese Windows versions.


Please, please add RegOpenKeyExW and RegQueryValueExW...

Message:
Yes, RegQueryValueEx and RegOpenKeyEx were both supported frombuild 214
onwards.

But they return just strings, not Unicode strings. That's why I am asking
to include RegQueryValueExW and RegOpenKeyExW functions.

And unfortunately, I can't switch to Python 3 due to module
dependencies...

Message:
RegQueryValueEx and RegOpenKeyEx were both supported (see the docs for
RegOpenKey) at least in build 214

Message:
A Python 3.1 build can be found for build 214 and that should have a full
unicode version of win32api

Message:
Hi,

Any change of having a win32api with full unicode supprt?
Or just an interim release with just RegOpenKeyExW and RegQueryValueExW
functions added?

Python 3 has been released 2 years ago...
And there have already been pywin32 releases for Python3.

Message:
When will be the py3k release?

In the meantime, I'm encountering more and more issues with Japanese
systems...
Is is possible to release an interim release, with the RegOpenKeyExW and
RegQueryValueExW functions added?

Message:
win32api can now be built as full unicode, so that all the available
registry functions call the underlying wide-char api functions.
It hasn't been released this way yet, however.

When we finally have a py3k release, all the modules will be built
using unicode APIs.
