Hi Jelmer,
I have applied your patches and compiled samba 4 again, carried out the 
instructions on the swat2 howto page and got swat2 running (I think) ;-)

netstat -a | grep LISTEN | grep -v unix
tcp        0      0 *:swat                  *:* LISTEN

lsof -i :901
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
samba   31644 root   22u  IPv4 433197      0t0  TCP *:swat (LISTEN)
samba   31644 root   23u  IPv6 433198      0t0  TCP *:swat (LISTEN)

But when I try to connect to swat (via the servers ipaddress) from 
another computer, I get this in /usr/local/samba/var/log.samba

[2012/11/22 19:34:40,  0] 
../source4/web_server/wsgi.c:420(wsgi_process_http_input)
   error while running WSGI code

I also now have an empty /usr/local/samba/var/log.swat

Any idea what is wrong?

Rowland
