thanks!

What means soon days/weeks/month ?

I'm currently converting the winbindd internal messaging to the NDR
based protocol and I it's pointless to convert code that's not compiled
at all.

I agree the feature would be really usefull and we should readd it,
the question is just, does that happens before or after 3.2.0.
If you plan that for 3.2.0 then I'll leave it in otherwise
I'd propose to reimplement it on top of the new NDR based protocol.

I hope to get the NDR based stuff ready for 3.2.1.
