If we dropped SWAT from the tarball for this alpha release, we could
drastically reduce the 'shock-value' of the release size:

[abartlet at naomi SAMBA_4_0_RELEASE]$ du -k *.tar.gz
4960    samba-4.0.0alpha1-SVN-build-UNKNOWN.tar.gz
9316    samba-4.0.0alpha1-SVN-build-UNKNOWN-with-webapps.tar.gz

We would also avoid promising SWAT into the future, as it remains
completely untested - every time I do a new test on SWAT, I find
something else broken.  But because it's a web app, I can't script the
testing...

Alternately, we could drop SWAT2, and for alpha2 revert to the SWAT code
included in TP1 (which, with a bit of a fiddle, I think I could write
automated tests for). 

Thoughts?
