s4: Should we still support the "domain mixed mode"?

[Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer]

Hi metze!

Basically the group nesting is limited in mixed mode. I think it's like 
this: Local groups cannot be nested, but can contain global ones. Global 
groups don't allow nesting at all. (I hope I'm right). So if you add 
"member" attributes you have to be perform more checks.
