Description Andrew Krasny 2009-06-29 18:53:46 UTC 
Currently there are two places in the code where we a querying Windows Registry:
1 - to find tools/compilers on Windows (CND)
2 - to find sh to use for run (nativeexecution)

Actually in both cases we are querying for the same information.
The idea is to try to avoid this.

The problem is that nativeexecution cannot depend on CND... So, perhaps, this should be resolved by introducing some
SPI... (or, maybe, avoid shell usage on Windows ;) )

move to execution
