The libnss_wins and libnss_winbind libraries are required in order to
add support for the wins and winbind sources to the Name Service Switch
(NSS), so make it possible to install them. This is useful in order to
resolve NetBIOS names or user and group information from a Windows NT
server.

These libraries are installed to /lib/ like the standard libnss_*
libraries from (E)GLIBC.

Changes in v2:
- Make BR2_PACKAGE_SAMBA_LIBNSS_WIN* depend on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC
  and BR2_PACKAGE_SAMBA_WINBINDD.
- Use full path for target in 'install -D'.
- Move the definitions of the hook functions inside the corresponding
  conditional blocks.

Note that the winbindd daemon is still not started by S91smb if
BR2_PACKAGE_SAMBA_WINBINDD is set.

Applied to next. One question, though.

This dance is a bit weird. Normally, it's the opposite that is done:
the .so.X is the real file, and the .so is a symbolic link. Any reason
to do it the way you did it?

Thanks,

Patches welcome! It could be a separate init script, though.

Thanks,

I had noticed that EGLIBC's libnss files were organized in this
unusual way in my cross-toolchain:
/lib/libnss_<service>-<version>.so
/lib/libnss_<service>.so.<major> -> /lib/libnss_<service>-<version>.so

That's why I decided to do something similar for winbind and wins for
consistency, although these don't have a version in the library
filename.

Now that I've had a second look at it, I also see the following:
/usr/lib/libnss_<service>.so -> /lib/libnss_<service>.so.<major>

So I now think that changing my installation function to do the
opposite would be better, all the more this is also what is done on a
major OS like Ubuntu 14.10:
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss_compat-2.19.so

I should send a new patch for that.

Yes, would be good. Thanks for having researched this!
