The winbind local groups were intended as portabler replacements
for the 'add user script', et. al. params.  But the concept
never really caught on.  The UNIX user and group information
is stored in the winbindd_idmap.tdb on local disk.

Unless people voice a strong objection, this will probably
be filed in the 'good idea that never made it mainstream'
pile of code.
