	Well, you could just simplify the installation!
	Make a tar image of a minimal member server,
	rooted at /, so that you have the /etc/rc3.d/sXXsamba.server
	startup files plus all the binaries and config stuff,
	all with proper permissions.

	This should make installations trivial: it's a variant
	on how .pkg files work.

	In principle, you untar on the target machine, start swat
	on your admin machine pointed at the target machine,
	apply machine-specific changes and disconnect.  About
	10 minutes total.
