coding volunteers needed for msrpc server-side API conversion

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

i'd suggest starting with lsa_close().

examine wkssvc/srv_wkssvc_nt.c, samr/srv_samr_passdb.c for comments (esp.
the ones at the bottom of the samr fn).

please remember that the intent is to make lsa_lookup_names() client-side
and ALLL other client-side functions take UNICODE strings _not_ char*, so
if you see a cli_*.c function with char*, replace with UNISTR2* and maybe
you'll have to put UNIHDR* in as well (an artefact of the way i'm doing
UNICODE strings: sorry).
