Whether we build CTDB standalone or as a top level build, we are always
going to build CTDB version that's bundled.  We are NOT going to build smbd
file server version >= 4.2 with older ctdb versions.  So there is no need
to check whether CTDB features are supported or not.  If we want to use
some ctdb feature in smbd, then it better be there in ctdb.

I agree with Michael that I have missed the autobuild and I should make
sure that the samba-ctdb target builds correctly.

Also, I know there is duplication of certain structures (e.g. server_id) in
ctdb.  Martin and I have worked hard to drop as much duplication from ctdb
as possible and re-use code available (including major work on lib/util).
It's not complete by any means.  We are getting closer and some day we may
use PIDL generated code in ctdb.  However, we are not there yet.
