Anybody want EBCDIC Support for Samba 1.9.18?

[A.G. Russell IV]

I for one would like to offer my support of the intergration.
While I have only worked on 3 or 4 flavors of UNIX for Mainframes,
this should be a very low maintance portion of the code, and
will provide a great deal of service when needed.
