Thanks Simo!  The more I thought about it, the more I realized that 
there isn't really another option.

This patch includes the changes to use talloc_steal() in a type-safe 
way, and prevents a current member server from performing any dc join 
steps if asked to. It's an 'svk diff' of libnet_join.c against the 
current SOC/SAMBA_4_0 branch, r10036.
