It's a mess -- basically any non-default combination of samba4 build 
options has issues, which makes the options largely pointless.

I have a set of PRINT_PLIST_AWK lines that helps with supporting the 
'lesser' options, but the major ones like ads are too pervasive to be 
caught by regexps. A while back, I cobbled together a script that 
builds samba with (n-1) options rotating, and generates the resulting 
PLISTs, to be consolidated - that is how expensive this gets. And it 
doesn't look like any of the package updaters did the work.

What is the way forward? Just accepting that Samba is a behemoth, and 
build it with all lights on?

On a related note, current 'default options' samba4 builds on FreeBSD, 
but does not work for me.

Cheerio,
Hauke
