It's the nmbd use that is key - the use in nmbd_packets.c. Don't 
remove it yet please - this needs some serious study as to what
it's doing in that code (I remember adding it for a very specific
reason to do with multiple interfaces and broadcast packet detection
whilst at Whistle in 1997 but I can't quite remember now :-). I'll
need to go over that code very carefully first.
