Aside from the discussion of how to carry local changes, why do we need to
carry local changes in this situation at all?

We introduced this bug by sending a patch to upstream, and
so it seems reasonable to also help fix the regression caused by that
patch there.

As far as I know we don't want (or at least strongly prefer not) to have
Samba-specific changes in our copies of e.g. zlib or popt. Why is waf any
different?
