Yes, that's a problem.  It's best that the I18N patch is all feeded
back into Samba's main development.

So let's fix something wrong?

The server I plan to test is Red Hat 7.3. :-)  But, I think I can test
on my laptop running -current, later.

OK.

Anyway I don't do this Samba thing soon.  My point again is

	* don't duplicate the patch work, and

	* the right I18N fix should be merged into the main package
	  than not forking a I18N package.
