I would like to see this backported to Ruby 2.1 as well.  Without it, registry keys and values cannot be deleted at all.  This is a fairly large issue on Windows.

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/ext/win32/lib/win32/registry.rb#L236-L237

Contains:

~~~ruby
    module API
      include Constants
      extend Importer
      dlload "advapi32.dll"
      [
        "long RegOpenKeyExW(void *, void *, long, long, void *)",
        "long RegCreateKeyExW(void *, void *, long, long, long, long, void *, void *, void *)",
        "long RegEnumValueW(void *, long, void *, void *, void *, void *, void *, void *)",
        "long RegEnumKeyExW(void *, long, void *, void *, void *, void *, void *, void *)",
        "long RegQueryValueExW(void *, void *, void *, void *, void *, void *)",
        "long RegSetValueExW(void *, void *, long, long, void *, long)",
        "long RegDeleteValue(void *, void *)",
        "long RegDeleteKey(void *, void *)",
        "long RegFlushKey(void *)",
        "long RegCloseKey(void *)",
        "long RegQueryInfoKey(void *, void *, void *, void *, void *, void *, void *, void *, void *, void *, void *, void *)",
      ].each do |fn|
        cfunc = extern fn, :stdcall
        const_set cfunc.name.intern, cfunc
      end
~~~

Should use `RegDeleteValueW` and `RegDeleteKeyW`.
