I'll just warn that this is a bit harder than it looks at first.  My
suggestion is to start with Kai's patch, but the issue is that the
Samba4 tests use and expect these binaries in a few places. 

What we need to do first (as a separate patch) is extend the binary
mapping in selftest/wscript to include smbclient4 and nmblookup4.  Then
these need to be passed down into the test scripts as a parameter.

Then, once the mapping system is in place, the rename is easier, as you
only adjust wscript files (including the mapping line in
selftest/wscript) and do not change test semantics. 

Finally, we should deal with the many other duplicate testing binaries.
I would like us to have just one smbtorture, outputting subunit, and
avoid having multiple sources of masktest, locktest et al.

I'm currently working on this.  Once ntlm_auth3 uses gensec on the
client and server, the key functionality will be pretty much identical
anyway.  In short I expect to essentially merge these.
