I don't think that getting compatible to other registrys should be an aim at
all. But having value/comment with dirs is very useful.

isUser, isSystem is not needed as described.
keySet/GetFlag is a complete unecessary feature, which really must be removed
NEEDSYNC is the only left bit needed...

return (key->access & 0040000); /*S_IFDIR*/
so we mixed up type and access. S_IFDIR is something out of stat, which gives
access AND type (file, dir, fifo..) information back.
Next to that the solution is semantically very strange, is it guaranteed that
mode_t has more then 9 bit? On every unix? We should not store more then the
original rxwrxwrxw there.
thank you
