Attached is my proposed release notes for the deprecated security
parameters.  Sorry for not doing this at the time that the changes went
in.

I've added and additional blocker to remove some Samba4-specific files
to discourage building Samba4 from 3.6, and in particular to avoid folks
finding a Makefile and ./configure in the top level that does not build
Samba 3.6

'make test' still builds Samba4 for smbtorture with this patch, as it
has it's own way of running waf. 

Thanks for all the hard work handling the release!
