Hmm, maybe I could build a Wise Install wizard, which
1. Allows the user to pick which file-types they want to register (DAT,
MPD, LDL, and/or LDS (did I miss any?)).

MLCAD, LDGLite, buildmpd, splitmpd, Textpad, etc.)
3. Builds registry entries as required.

That would rock.  Is there any way you could keep the tool list open, in case
more pop up later?
