We have, as much as has been practical now done that.  The code now runs
in each commit (except in the rename/split out work at the end, that is
still WIP).  Remember that in this case, with the feature disabled by
default in smb.conf, there is also no risk of lost bisect-ability.  

Given the complexity, recording these incremental development steps on
the operating script is an important and helpful record in the aid of
future development in this complex area, as it highlights the unexpected
and/or undocumented aspects in small commits, and ensures these are not
lost in the major rewrite.

An updated branch is at

Thanks!
