Thanks - that got me a little farther, and I was able to upload
a driver for Windows XP.  But not for Windows 2000, and it looks like
the Samba Team (and/or Microsoft) need to work on this feature before
it's ready for prime time!  Things are misbehaving badly here.

I'm going to put it aside for now (before I start getting blue screens ;)
and go on to other things.
