[Samba] Sernet Packages - configure Options

[Dirk Laurenz]

Hello Rowland,

thanks for your tipp. the last time i tried this (was fairly samba 4.0), 
transferring fsmo roles ended up in corruption. is this now a safe 
feature? i found out, that the build options are nearly the same, just 
modules dir differs. so replace the binaries would make it? remove 
sernet packages and install my own
