It seems like a fairly common task to check if a registry entry exists
or not and then respond accordingly. In this situation, it would not
be an error if the registry entry does not exist -- in fact in some
cases it's expected.

The "failonerror" attribute to the readregistry task helps a bit here
-- at least the build won't stop. There is still a warning though and
in the case described here it seems unwarranted.

I'd like to see an additional "reportwarning" type of attribute that
could optionally be set to false (default would be true). In this case
if a registry key doesn't exist, no warning would be reported.

Example:
<readregistry property="AppDir" failonerror="false"
reportwarning="false" key="SOFTWARE\SomeKey" />

Regards,
T.G.
