RpcImpersonateClient (and ImpersonateNamedPipeClient)

Hi Luke, you said:

Another possibility is that we implement our own version of a SAM.  Right
now we just return a fake Administrator SID every time we're asked for
one.  But if we absolutely needed to, we could implement a local version
and it needn't even be a separate process.  The NT SAM registry is pretty
well reverse engineered here:

Yah.  I think that's more likely than that we go whole-hog on it.  From
experience, it's often more important to get things like parameters and
error codes just the way Windows programs expect than it is to make a
function "really work."  By implementing a stubbed or local-only version,
we can figure out all this stuff, and maybe make a full-blown version
later.

Agreed.  The focus for the Wine folks is generally, does this get my app
to work?  Unless it's fixing an app, not too many folks are likely to get
real excited by anything.

Feel free to point out what we've been missing.  Patches speak louder than
anything here :)
