SAMBA 2.2.8 source kit for 8.2 (and possibly earlier)

Hello all,

I have gone through the SAMBA 2.2.8 and modified it to start to take 
advantage of features for VMS 8.2.

This also repairs most of the compiler diagnostics, including several 
bugfixes where the compiler would not have generated the intended code.

If you are only pulling some fixes out of this, pay attention to the 
modules flagged with bugfix.  As no one yet has complained about 
anything that I can trace to these bugs, I do not know how serious they are.

The #ifdef ALPHA features are not #ifndef __VAX so that IA64 will use 
the 64 bit features.

This does not have the fix that J.Y. Collot is planning for stat() 
returning a smaller size for a file open for write.

My next step is to merge in the 2.2.12 changes, and if the bugs that I 
found are still present in the UNIX 2.2.12 release, to report them into 
BUGZILLA.

I have not tested this on anything other than OpenVMS 8.2 EFT Alpha, and 
that was not a comprehensive test.  After I get up to the 2.2.12 or what 
ever the UNIX release is, I may then try to build on some selected older 
versions.
