Lets discuss this in detail past 0.6.4.
We should schedule a formal meeting in a few weeks to discuss things like that.

Thus means folder keys are not used anymore, and every key has the option to
contain subkeys. It has both advantages and disadvantages:
+ value/comment everwhere
= berkleydb not very difficult to add
- filesys, configuration style, sql and many more backends more or much more
complicated
- how to find out if there are subkeys?

I don't think that compatibilty to other registry, is ANY reason to something.

Yeah, lets finish, but I think we should work on the recursive code not in
bindings too, this would have following advantages:
+ not needed to reimplement in every backend (KDB_O_RECURSIVE can be handled
in one place)
+ possibility to have linking code there (because walkthrough of all keys is
necessary)
+ possibilty of mounting backends soon (which would be the best feature).
Lets discuss this in detail past 0.6.4.
