Via updates of our lorikeet-heimdal tree, which is a rebased set of
patches (trending towards zero) on top of Heimdal master.  Scripts in
our lorikeet-heimdal repo assist us with that rebase, and then assist us
to import (via an import commit) a subset of lorikeet-heimdal into
Samba's master, where it is built with our waf build system.

It is far from ideal, and I want to get out of this cycle, but for now I
ask that you assist me with that process.  

If, after submitting the patch upstream to Heidmal and it being
accepted, you then apply it to Samba with a marker 'This is (based on)
upstream Heimdal commit xxx', that is totally fine - it is easy to
ignore such commits, knowing they will already be in the import. 

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
