you're right that the current implementation of LookupPrivilegeValue is 
a hack and I will remove it and revert all the changes. Can you tell me 
how Services gets the Load Driver privilage on real Windows?

Right. Current I have a working hacky implementation that I will only 
commit to branch until a correct implemenation will be coded. Robert 
Shearman from Wine contacted me and sent me and IDL that repesents the 
SCM RPC calls. He also created a big RPCRT patch sometime before and so 
I will soon look into implementing it correctly.
