So, the approach would be to get the libtdb building code from sf.net,
and add it to the already too many patches in Samba for debian.  Then
work with jra and jerry on making this upstream, if it can be done
portably.  I can't imagine building the other utilities will be a big
pain.  The tricky bit might be deciding to use the separate makefile or
the main build system.
