Hi Alexander, Andreas,

This breaks the build against system Heimdal:

charis:~/src/samba% make
WAF_MAKE=1 ./buildtools/bin/waf build
Waf: Entering directory `/home/jelmer/src/samba.git1/bin'
Checking project rules ...
Unknown dependency 'k5crypto' in 'addns'

Cool, that's really nice!

Is this one really necessary? It doesn't actually seem to be used
anywhere yet.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just conditionally add build files,
rather than allowing the rest of them to be skipped halfway through? The
nice thing about if statements is that it's fairly clear that something
is conditional; having an exception being raised halfway through the
file makes it unobvious what is going exactly without reading the file
all the way from the beginning.

Cheers,

Jelmer
