Thanks. I got a similar reply from Martin Carlisle to a private e-mail. 
I guess what was throwing me off was the use of "key". In regedit, a key 
is a folder in the left pane. In the right pane are values, which have a 
name and content. So in this terminology, I need the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ada Core Technologies\GNAT

and a value named ROOT. I built that and it works fine.

I installed MinGW, which installs GNAT, in c:\MinGW\bin.
