The wizard part is arguably useful, for reducing the
"sticker shock" when first configuring Samba. If
it were a standalone wizard **only** that was
compatible with a testparm -generated file, it
might well make sense.
Similarly, a wizard that created ONLY a smb.addition
file for a share might make sense...
