	The naming is obsure enough as it is: I'd really
	hate to export internal variable-names.

	However, pruning what a daemon needs out of the cloud
	of params we have is sane: perhaps some indirection
	so that nmbd can use just_ignore_it() as the variable-
	setting function for "blocking locks" (which I assume
	nmbd doesn't need (;-))
