Oh, but of course using the exact some logic as samba would mean causing a
recursion in the case of "name resolve order = hosts".  So what's needed
here is to honor the config file, treating only wins, bcast, and
(optionally) lmhosts, and do something appropriately default-y if none of
these are specified.
