one option you might want to consider is to use 2.1prealpha as the PDC,
specifying a 2.0.X server in all user's home directories (logon path =
\\samba-20x\%U).

then again, if you use win2k it doesn't matter if the target is a pdc or
not: if it's 2.0.x, you will run into difficulties with the 2.0.x msrpc
code.

jean francois kindly volunteered for the task of patching a 7megabyte diff
file.  he currently has this finished but not compiling.

he's busy, and it's not his main job.  if you can find someone to pay him
to work full-time on samba, he'll do it :)
