[Samba] TCP_NODELAY

[Ryan Novosielski]

Well... I see what happened.

I went digging and see that the problem (relating to the duplicate 
definition of TCP_NODELAY and TCP_MAXSEG) was "fixed" as a result of bug 
1065. However, though the fix (changes to includes.h, one example being 
the section starting at line 312, another starting at line 371, and the 
last starting at 399) looks sane to me, there appears to be a problem with 
it. TCP_NODELAY does not get defined at all in my setup. I suspect the 
same is true of TCP_MAXSEG, but I don't know what that's used for, if 
anything. It looks like even though it is supposed to be getting defined 
2x (and that is the reason for all of the #undef's), it seems to be 
getting #undef'd 2x also, instead of just once and then redefined.

Since TCP_NODELAY is reported to be a performance enhancer, I certainly 
don't want to go without it (or at least, I don't /think/ I do).
