	That would require a very large source change: 
	it's arguabley easier to run seperate servers
	for each workgroup.

	From memory, you need to start multiple
	pairs of smbd and nmbd, with the
	-l <log file> and -s <conf file> options
	set.  The conf files will need to 
	specify some different things, too,
	such as, for example, username map.
