Can we put this off until we get an agreement on if Samba3 is moving to
a new build system, and then do this in conjunction with a top level
build?

I would also rather not increase the amount of code in the top level
directories that are not actually shared - we already have a number of
subsystems where the merge wasn't completed, and putting it in the top
level doesn't suddenly make it happen.  

In particular as winbindd in Samba3 relies on other Samba3 libraries
that are not in the top level - putting it there might somehow help with
branding, but it also makes it much harder to follow what depends on
what. 

I also don't like the amount of 'new file' and 'deleted file' in this
branch.  It looks like we are loosing a lot of history here. 

I would really love to see a great effort put behind productive merging
of code, but just don't see how simple renames of unshared code helps
this effort. 

Sorry,

Andrew Bartlett
