Removing the code from git seems "cleaner" to me, too - though keeping
code in a lib_3p directory is fine as a transitionary state.

If we eventually remove the bundled libraries from git then
we should keep the code for downloading these tarballs in the Samba
tree, rather than in the buildfarm tree, so that it is easy to
reproduce errors that happen on the build farm using bundled
libraries.
