LOTS!  porting NT applications back to Unix, for a start!

and actually, i quite _like_ the hideous interface, i've been having to
work "behind-the-scenes" for the last two years, and i quite like it!  ok,
i've seen better, but if you understanda that it's _all_, and i do _mean_
all, based on DCE/RPC, then you kinda get used to its quirks.
