As Jelmer pointed out, the fundamental discussion you are
starting here has been (or should have been) taken place
several years ago.

We have been building the AD-Part (samba4) of Samba with waf for more
than three years now (iirc), the combined build followed soon.
And before introducing waf, the samba4 part was also not built by
a (pure) autoconf system for a considerable time.

What we are talking about now is the question whether to remove
the autoconf build system from the source3 subdirectory,
which is also built with the top level waf build, which is
declared default build in in Samba 4.0.

So maybe you should have told us several years ago. :-)

Cheers - Michael
