Hello.

Thank you for starting the review.

I am currently working on the samba._ldb module, but it has a long 
dependency line that includes auth, params, a lot of the RPC modules, 
and more. Nevertheless, I've managed to port the dependency tree and it 
seems to work.

But the next problem I have to solve is tests. The modules mentioned 
above have no separate tests for each of them, and to run a more complex 
test suites (like the raw test of DCERPC) I need to port more modules 
which are included in this complex test suites -- for example NDR.

So, yes, I am working on it and it's progressing well, but it will take 
some time to have all the test dependencies prepared and tested as well.

Thank you very much for your cooperation and have a nice day.
