I now have a working script,  it's based on the excellent CUPS script 
and is pasted below.  When I get time I will post something up on Wiki 
site.   Save the script in the /unslung directory as file name rc.samba.


#! /bin/sh
# Diversion script: to modify the Samba smb.conf file
#
# Reason: to add or change Samba2 functionality
#
#
# Make sure we have a backup copy of /etc/samba/smb.conf
if [ ! -e /etc/samba/smb.conf.orig ]; then
cp -p /etc/samba/smb.conf  /etc/samba/smb.conf.orig
fi
#
# Add New Script Sections below here
#
#
#
# Script section to enable the Samba built in Wins Server
#
# Check for 'wins server' (external Wins server)
# and 'wins support' (internal Samba Wins server) lines.
# If not present then insert line into [global] section
# to enable the built in Wins Server.
if ( !(grep "wins s" /etc/samba/smb.conf -q) ) then
sed -i -e 's/\[global\]$/\[global\]\nwins support \= yes/' 
/etc/samba/smb.conf
fi
#
# End of Wins Server script section
#
# Add other script sections here
#
# Continue to start samba
#
return 1
# EOF - include this line
#


Note that my own file also contains a script section to initialise my 
FAT32 disk partition.   The extra script section for this is:-

#
#
# Script section for FAT32 Support
#
# If there is no [FAT32HDD] section then append to end of file
if ( !(grep "\[FAT32HDD\]" /etc/samba/smb.conf -q) ) then
cat << EOF >> /etc/samba/smb.conf
[FAT32HDD]
valid users=@"administrators",@"everyone"
comment=FAT32 Partition
path=/share/hddvfat/
public=yes
read only=no
write list=@"administrators",@"everyone"

EOF
fi
#
# End of FAT32 script section
#
