I don't think that REG is a a name reserved for use only on Windows
that could never exist on another box. Its meaning is undefined
outside of Windows. Undefined means unreliable and therefore, not
useful as a test to decide what to do on arbitrary platforms. Also, on
Cygwin you would use regtool and parse things differently anyway,
while Cygwin users tend to be educable enough that if they want to use
kdiff or whatever, they'll symlink it or otherwise put it on their
path.
