Extracted list of smb.conf options

[Herb Lewis]

There is also a perl script in the samba sources
examples/misc/swat.pl

that gives you a list of all the options in loadparm.c and
indicates where they are used by swat. Aliases for parameter
names are also shown (indented under the primary name). A
small snippet of output follows. You might be able to modify
that to give you what you want.
