[Bulk] Re: [SCM] Samba Shared Repository - branch v3-2-test updated - release-3-2-0pre2-129-g6850dc2

[David Collier-Brown]

  The R-path was the preferred elf mechanism, created as part of 
the original ABI discussions (which included my evil twin).
However, not everyone likes it, and some folks objected because 
they hadn't invented it (;-))

  It does require a guaranteed stable filesystem layout,
like the old System 5 (from whence came these particular
elves) or the Linux Standard Base. Otherwise you end up 
creating silly symlinks (:-()
