Well, I'd recommend to let the samba code in the ports area, since
it's changing very rapidly. People wouldn't want to use the "old"
samba in the FreeBSD-RELEASE. I assume, they would want to have the
newest one...
Perhaps we should discuss that at a later time, when samba has
reached a 'not rapidly changing' state (as pcnfsd for example).
Generally I'd vote for it. But maybe not now.
