right, the commit text is not really right as there is already a wscript file
and yes, the buildfarm errors came from the waf build for smbtorture4
actually, which was trying and failing to call "configure" in the vfs_examples
makefile target accordingly. Sorry for the misleading text. The vfs_examples
build just needs some rework and the call of configure in the Makefile ought to
be obsoleted, too.
