Suggestion: make Winbindd more Active-Directory-alike

Currently Samba can do the likes of "DOMAIN\username" or "DOMAIN+username".

With Active-Directory snapping at our heals, how about "username at DOMAIN" as
well?

I realise that's owes more to AD's Exchange Server integration, but it
damn-well makes more sense! :-)

In fact, if you were to set your Samba Domain name to your Internet Domain
name, people could login with their Email addresses... :-)

Just a thought...
