RE: Request for interested reviewers ...

ANNOUNCEMENT:  I'm going to try to push Betsol's attempt at a 3.6 "community build" into a 3_6 branch, so it can be tested as a whole.  We will serve binaries built for many distros as we can get them together.   There's enough changes to merit a reasonably new sub-version, if not maybe the 4.0 we would like.

My version of amsamba upgrade is in:  3_5-out-amsamba-only

Other branches I'd like review on:
  3_5-out-amcryptsimple-fix
  3_5-out-perl-build-changes
  3_5-packaging-upgrade-wip
  3_5-upgrade-gnulib

- the gnulib upgrade may be a bit older than the latest gnulib, but it seems a good idea anyway].
- the perl-build changes
- the packaging-upgrade-wip branch finally builds correctly for Debian, RPM and a new one: "tar".
- the packaging-upgrade-wip also creates a 'test' build too (for RPM only currently) that includes all the installcheck tests in an independent location

[For a "tar" build the make install tree are placed in a "BUILD" subdirectory in a manner similar to Debian but obviously without creating any package.  This may make Arch or others more easily adapted if anyone was curious as to try.]
