NACK as discussed previously.

I just did not have the time to follow up on the coding yet.
Sorry for that!

This patch changes all environments, not just the one
used for that test, and we want to test nss_winbindd
in our environments, arguably also with.

And I thought that we meanwhile do have some other tests
that rely on this. Apparently not all of the other proposed
patches have made it into master. Possibly we lost track of
the actual patches by this sad discussion. I need to dig
throug the mails of the past months to see what has been
lost... :-(
After all these changes were done as preparations for
some other changes.

So if we can do a patch that re-disables the exporting
of the nss-vars just for the pluging_s4_dc env or even
better just for this env and just for this test, then
I would not object.
