OK, so if I understand this right, it might be helpful to have
pgenlist.dll expose a function that's callable with rundll32 to create
the registry entries. Call it, say, registerxa().

Then the registry entry creation code currently in
EnlistInDtc_1pipe(...) could be factored out so it's callable as part of
EnlistInDtc_1pipe(...) or via the new entry point.

The installer can then invoke

rundll32 pgenlist.dll,registerxa

to create the appropriate entries.

Reasonable?

Or is it better to just create/update the registry entries directly
using the MSI?

Looking at the current code, it appears that it tries to overwrite any
existing value in that subkey if XA enlistment fails. So it should also
"upgrade" existing entries. Right?
