I don't see a loss of debugging here. I decided to fix it this way and not
make it an option intentionally cause to have this an option doesn't buy us
anything. We would just have another option which confuses people and which
actually nobody hardly ever needs. In the session setup there are bits which
reveal much more reliable what kind of server we are. Actually there is still
the String Samba+Version number also here. Just "Unix" is replaced with
"Windows SAMBA_MAJOR_NBT_ANNOUNCE_VERSION". The biggest competitor of us does
also announces as "Windows xxx" as native OS.

about this there seems to be no consensus, you say it should be this way, I
heard two other voices saying this is the way to go.
