G'Day David,

I understand the desire not to have the "o" in there, but why remove
the samba_ prefix?

I'm nervous about the mimic idea, because we tried that with 'net'
which doesn't really mimic Windows very well and instead diverges at
lot.  (Whereas samba-tool has no pretence as to what it is).
