	The wizard part is arguably useful, for reducing the
	"sticker shock" when first configuring Samba. If
	it were a standalone wizard **only** that was
	compatible with a testparm -generated file, it
	might well make sense.

	Similarly, a wizard that created ONLY a smb.addition
	file for a share might make sense...
