Setup / provision GUI for Samba (and OpenChange)

Setting up Samba and OpenChange currently requires running quite a lot of
command line utilities. It should be easy for even a junior system
administrator to set up Samba as a Domain Controller, RODC and general
server.

The windows equivalent tool is dcpromo.exe, and while you may not want/need
to copy it directly, it does provide a reasonable basis for establishing
what this tool should be able to provide (in terms of outcomes).

Some initial work (using PyQt4) is available at
http://gitorious.org/samba-openchange-gui-tools/samba-openchange-gui-setupbut
working with that is not essential to this task.

   - Difficulty: Easy
   - Language(s): Python
   - Possible mentors: Brad Hards, probably others.
