It depends on what the function does exactly. If it's a generic mapping
function for ldb to NTSTATUS errors then I think lib/ldb-samba is more
appropriate. We don't want other non-dsdb code that uses it to have to
link against dsdb/.

Considering that, perhaps it would make more sense for the
samdb_msg_add_* functions to return a NTSTATUS value directly?
