My eventual goal is that folks using a Ubuntu or Fedora system would
have Samba4 'just work' with the packaged OpenLDAP.  I can of course
lobby them to get their packages updated to build from contrib, but it's
easier if it's just in there.=20

Similarly, when I ask folks to configure with 'OpenLDAP HEAD' in the
short term, it is of course easier for me if everything is already in
place.=20

But this is your project, not mine, and I am happy with whatever we can
make work.=20
