Should not be too hard to write a Winbind based NT group helper.

There is a UNIX group helper already published.

I have a LDAP helper. Not yet officially published, but known to work
well with a variety of LDAP group structures, and tested to both
OpenLDAP and MS AD LDAP servers.

Is a possibility, but it defenitely is a bit more than a "bugfix" and
I prefer is there mainly is bugfixes in the STABLE cycle..
