Short term Samba and Samba-Tng are going to be ported to Mingw so they can run on Windows and
ReactOS. Long term there does need to be a intigration plan. I think we can wrap smbd in a dummy
Server service but I have not done much research on the intigration part yet. Right now I just
want to get the damn things built and sharing files. Samba is a lot more besides just the
filesharing module.....Its ms-rpc, network printer spooling, wins and network winlogin/Active
Directory, etc.....

Thanks
