Samba 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 migration

[Ricky Nance]

How did you copy your backup? I mean you should be able to build samba
4.0.1, then copy over just the private, etc, and sysvol directories into
the new install, or copy your old install to /usr/local/samba and do a make
install (with the 4.0.1 build) over it.
