Please Stefan,
keep in mind that other developers sooner or later will move to samba4
development.
I'm not too much conservative, but I would like to know why you want to
change the build system.
If there is a clear big advantage not reachable with usual tools, then
I'm with you.
Otherwise you are going to make it hard for others to help out on samba4
as retraining is always time loss when not necessary.
And we generally have no much time on our side.

Simo.
