Improved browsing support.

across subnets correctly. Look in the file docs/BROWSING.txt
as it has been largely re-written to explain how to do this.

Thanks to Silicon Graphics for allowing us to test the new
code on their corporate network.

+Remaining known issues with cross-subnet browsing.
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+When nmbd is acting as a WINS server it doesn't handle
+de-registering of members of a WORKGROUP<1e> name correctly.
+The first machine to de-register will remove the name. This
+should be fixed in a later release when group names are
+handled correctly in the WINS code.
+
+Propagation of servers between local master browsers and
+the domain master browser doesn't take into account the
+fact that only names seen by the local master browser on
+the local subnet should be propagated. This causes machines
+that have stopped serving to be propagated between browse
+masters. This issue will be fixed in the smbd code in a
+later release.
+
Remember - this is new code so there may be
bugs or problems.
