No, but with the dbwrap abstraction it's also not too
difficult. The interface to the printing tdbs is not too
large. And, maybe at some not too distant point in time,
Samba will do it properly and store the nt*.tdb in the
registry.tdb where it belongs. Then you get the
cluster-awareness for free, the registry is already there.
