You are wrong. The Registry unit of FPC is implemented in a Cross 
Plattform way. On non-Windows plattforms it uses a XML file to store the 
values. As long as you don't need security related stuff (access 
control, etc) or need to access Registry keys of the OS or other 
applications this should be sufficient.
