Two things: if /proc/registry isn't writable, cating 1 to
/proc/registry/.writeable won't work - without special case code. I'd
suggest /proc/sysopts/fs/registry/writeable.
Two, why not have two options:
writeable
nextwrite
one is persistent (until all cygwin processes end). The other is for a
single transaction.
