lesson 3) when working in a branch only do changes relevant to that
branches purpose. Don't do other large changes in a branch just
because they seem right. BRANCH_NTDOM became
BRANCH_LUKES_COMPLETE_REWRITE with changes to virtually everything
(directory structure, data structures, client, nmbd, smbd -
everything!).

sorry to be so harsh :)

we will get it sorted eventually, but after trying again last night to
merge your new client code into the head branch I now think that maybe
it is too hard. It changes almost everything. It will probably be
quicker to restructure the head branch smbclient than add the nt code
again from scratch.
