design help needed with standard_sub_basic()

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

ok, i tried some mods to substitute local_machine, remote_machine,
remote_arhch etc etc, all the stuff that standard_sub_basic() needs with a
global structure instead.

the uses of all these substitution variables is waay too spread out _all_
over the samba source code, i don't feel confident in dealing with it, i
get the impression that i'm missing something here, not least a merge of
samba development branches.

i'll wait till next week to get some feedback on ideas and alternatives
before tackling this one, it's a bit too big.
