not helped by me basically going, hm, what shall i do with samba today,
for over two years. also not helped by this nt domains thing being so...
comprehensive, youu really _can't_ take it in stages (well , you can, and
we have: nt domain member, the 2.0.x series; the next stage is full nt
domain support).

yeah, that's waht happened two years ago, too. well, if that's really
what you want, then every time you come across a problem, give me a decent
report and track down the bug to actual lines of code or a speciic DEBUG
message.

well i _would_ be more comfortable with auto-generated code. once you
have the basic types right, and you're happy with all of them, it's much
easier to be confident that some new auto-generated code is also going to
be ok. we're still coming across 4-byte alignment issues, and it's been
over two years, now.
_but_... that's going to take a while, so we'll roll with the hand-coded
stuff for now. we need to write an IDL compiler.
