Am I? I don't know, since I didn't know about your build pains.

(And it is imho an extreme luxury to be able to complain
 about just a few hours spent in vain...)

The fact that autobuild is our own tool that we adapt to our
needs should not be new to either of you. ;-)

And after all, ctdb is still built, just as a aprt of
samba, and samba is still built against ctdb, so I can't
imagine which build problems you have been fighting with
that I have now talked into nonexistence. :-D
