A note for non w32 users: On w32 application paths are (if the
installation process is welbehaved) stored in a Registry key under "App
Paths" (with a path prepended, the registry has an hierarchical view
looking like a tree structured file system).
For those applications that uses this possibility I think this could be
used. I found it however a bit hard to think of a seamless way to
integrate this in openp. Could you elaborate a little bit more?
My primary thoughts are that this could be restricted to the case when
you search for an .exe file on w32 and this is not found in the path. In
openp there is needed a piece of w32 specific code at the end that calls
the w32 procedure. Not too disturbing perhaps. And it should work "out
of the box" in most places in Emacs. Quite nice.
