The support is so far enabled only for INI files (freeldr.ini, boot.ini).
May be subject to further improvements in the future.
Usage examples:
- When finding existing ReactOS or Windows installations, the boot store
should exist and is opened in read-only mode. Closing the boot store
doesn't store any temporary modifications made to it.
- When doing a clean installation, freeldr.ini is created in read-write
access.
- When installing with an existing freeldr.ini or boot.ini, they are
opened as existing files in read-write access.
- Make the Create*Partition helpers take a size in bytes, not in sectors.
This allows them to be easier to use by the caller, alleviating the
need for making the size conversion into sectors. Instead it is done
internally by the helpers.
- Introduce helper macros to easily retrieve the size of a partition
entry or a disk in bytes, from their internal representation in number
of sectors.
- The 'AutoCreate' variable being USETUP-specific, remove it from the
PARTENTRY structure and use instead a flag set into the 'New' member.
- Rename IsDiskSizeValid to IsPartitionLargeEnough, to better describe
what the function is for.
- Make some partitioning functions not dependent on the selected "CurrentPartition".
- Add some sanity checks.
- Improve some of the "is-partitioned" checks.
Only convert to ANSI when needed (e.g. in the display code for usetup).
The 1st-stage GUI setup will however use the UNICODE strings directly.
