I have traversal code working. Just simple recursion.  But I am having 
trouble looping over values.  An exception is thrown whenever a value of 
type REG_NONE is found.  This prevents me from iterating over other 
values, due to the exception.  Even if I rescue the exception, I am 
still kicked out of the each_value loop.

The problem is that each_value does a read, and read throws the 
exception if the type is REG_NONE.  see win32/registry.rb line 633.

Is there anyway around this?

Thanks,
