Just to left everyone know that the 3.0 branch may be broken at times
this week.  It will compile but that's all we're garanteeing 
until the idmap cleanup is done.

In exchange for removing all idmap calls from smbd, the forthcoming code
will

  a)  go through winbindd for all uid/gid allocation
  b)  complete the winbindd_passdb code to support
      users not in /etc/passwd (for machine trust accounts and
      for domain migration)
  c)  group mapping will be supported both with and without winbindd
  d)  algorithmic rid mapping will still exist in its current
      (as a fallback mechanism controled by a parameter) and marked
      as deprecated
  e)  require the use of NSS with winbindd (this was a requirement
      in the later 2.2 releases so we're not breaking backwards
      compatibility)






cheers, jerry
