[Samba] Recycle module permissions - a workaround

I have just found a simple (yet not so elegant) workaround for the
recycle VFS module permissions issue. Recycled directory is always
created with a 0700 permission, not allowing the use of the recycle bin
in a share that should be group-writeable.
The simple workaround is to set "individual" recycle bins, by setting
recycle:repository=.recycle.%u
this makes samba create a repository named ".recycle.<username>" for
every user. Every repository has 0700 permissions, so other users cannot
access it, but the user who deleted the file can always recover it, and
this has the side effect of letting the administrator (and the users
too) be aware of who deleted a file.
Also, a user can simply browse "the files I have deleted" in its
personal bin, as opposed to a common bin with hundreds of deleted files
all together.
