After these patches are in, there won't be any more autoconf.  We cannot
retain autoconf build without duplicating the libraries.

However, as I mentioned, currently the CTDB waf build is not integrated
with top-level build.  So you don't need to rebuild whole of samba to build
CTDB.

You can continue to use CTDB 2.5 branch (from CTDB git gree), which will
never to be converted to waf build.
