	Sigh... about three years ago, when I was the research
	assistant on a book project, I was going to have a look
	at diagnosing mutually contradictory smb.conf options
	at about debug level 2, in my Copious Spare Time.

	If anyone wants to put in code to diagnose such things,
	I have a working paper on things which could clash
	with each other, up to date for about 2.0.1 that I
	could modernize...

	Examples?  Well, create/directory mask -vs- map archive,
	for one, wins server -vs- wins support and so on.
