util: disinfect lookup_reg strings (issue1126)

lookup_reg could return Unicode strings, which would infect other strings and
generate unexpected tracebacks. Spotted by Rémy Roy.

Fold in silly nested function while we're at it.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import errno, os, sys

for f in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        print f, '->', os.readlink(f)
    except OSError, err:
        if err.errno != errno.EINVAL: raise
        print f, 'not a symlink'

sys.exit(0)
