Summary: makepy crash on protected typelib registry key

Initial Comment:
If a typelib registry key is protected from the logged
on user, makepy aborts:
  File
"E:\Python22\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\selecttlb.py",
line 68, in EnumTlbs
    key2 =
win32api.RegOpenKey(win32con.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,
"Typelib\%s" % (iid))
error: (5, 'RegOpenKeyEx', 'Access is denied.')

This happened on Win NT 4 logged on as administrator. A
simple modification to the code to ignore such keys
will allow the user to get a list of permitted keys
instead of aborting. See attachment. I added lines 75
(try) and 118 (except) to ignore protected keys
