The main problem is logging from debug.[ch] in lib/util.  Samba and CTDB
have different logging code now and that's causing some pain.  There are
few other files with differences, so I need to go through them one by one
and fix them.

Another issue is I would prefer to use lib/util from the main tree, but
that has samba specific dependency DYNCONFIG.  That should not be a problem
in the combined build.  But if I am building only CTDB, I would prefer to
not bring in samba specific dependencies.
