Why do you want to include SSL support? Not one MS Windows client supports
it and it is at best experimental and not well maintained code.

The official samba-team package contains all binaries in one rpm. Red Hat
and other distributions split the samba binaries and files into multiple
packages.

If you want the three packages as Red Hat create them then you will need
to start with the Red Hat source RPM (not the samba-team one that is in
the samba sources).
