A related topic:  I noticed that there is a version of setupapi in the 
reactos tree, but it is not currently compiled in the default build.  Does 
it not compile properly yet?

I took a quick look through the one on wine cvs and InstallHinfSection looks 
like it is at least partially done.  If enough of it is complete, it could 
be used to install drivers from their inf files.  That would make most of 
these preset registry settings unneccessary.
