Frederic, I dont think we can take it as a enforced dependency right
away as libmapi depends on Samba4 which is just in aplha1 now. It might
take a while before Samba4 releases and we take that and libmapi as
external dependencies. 

Im not sure if we can make/ask those alpha versions as external
dependencies.

Anyways thanks for the information and the trigger :)
