It's added bloat that is not in any way needed to develop, build,
deploy, document, maintain, run or manage the Samba
file/print/authentication servers and clients.

Once it's in the tree it's subject to the same code-review, maintenance
and auditing work-flow that is applied to the rest of the code-base,
inadvertently wasting other people's time.

Finally, it opens the flood gates for all other developer environment
tools and add-ons. Any takers for a cscope database? ;)

We already have a build system to perform this. Surely you can still use
this tool if this file lives outside the Samba code-base.
