08/07/2001  JosephJ ToDo
0. Switch to using lower-level wlbsctrl calls.
1. Load-library the necessary wlbsctrl calls -- get rid from link to wlbsctrl.


08/08/2001  JosephJ Current list of calls to wlbs...
    // CWlbsControl            *m_pWlbsControl;
    // CWlbsCluster **ppCluster

09/10/2001  JosephJ Include wlbsutil.lib (wlbs\inc\wlbsutil.h)
    This is JUST (what a shame) to include the IpAddressAbcdFromWsz function.
    And this is JUST to allow us to get/set from WLBS_REG_PARAM when
    wlbsctrl.dll can't be dynamically loaded (typically because it's not
    present). Consider cleanup of this.
