This is what I never have any luck with.  How do you do this?  If I try
and use -lgdk when building libgtk, it wants to import the whole libgdk
statically into libgtk at link time.  And if I don't, it complains
about unresolved symbols.

"Late binding", I think.

Please do!  I don't know that it's really on-topic for samba-technical
but I would definitely be interested.

First, smbd and nmbd each need a very small patch (appended) to play
well with SRC.  Then you just have to make the subsystems.  I did this:

  mkssys -s smbd -p /usr/local/sbin/smbd -G local -u 0 -R -S -n 15 -f 3
  mkssys -s nmbd -p /usr/local/sbin/nmbd -G local -u 0 -R -S -n 15 -f 3

Then, in a startup script somewhere:

  startsrc -g local
