Trial and error?  Unfortunately there are some silly dependencies
in Samba which prevent other clients from easily using the samba
code.  Maybe this is a feature?  (-:

You shouldn't really need it.  For a winbind client all that is
really needed is the wb_common.c code which doesn't have any
other dependencies.

Don't know.  It probably does.
