Adding a feature to the smbd

OK, I see, didn't know this feature, and it didn't seem like anyone else on
the regular samba list did, either. I asked there before I made the patch,
and no one knew a solution to my problems. I didn't even know you could use
environment variables in the config-file :-)

With this in mind, I don't see any reason to keep the patch either. You can
do anything you want with the "source environment" first, as a shell script,
and then just read the environment-variables later on.

Why isn't the possibility to use %$(ENV_VAR) mentioned in the docs? At
least, I can't see it anywhere...
