It's in both places. Yet NONE of the various files that were supposed to
be part of that recipe ended up in the rootfs, after several tries, even
though the logs showed that recipe being built.

I think the problem may have been caused by once hitting Ctrl-C at the
beginning of do_rootfs, because I remembered that I had to tweak one of
the files, and I didn't want to wait the fifteen minutes for that to
complete. (I'm running on an Atom.) As it happens, Ctrl-C just sets a flag
that interrupts the process after the task completes, so it didn't really
help, but I think that's when the problem started. Maybe that's a clue.

No, it's not mentioned in samba.inc, samba-basic.inc or in the recipe
itself.

And cleaning samba and rebuilding fixed the problem. So I suspect what's
been done in the Dylan branch has dealt with that problem, and for now
everything in the Danny branch works fine as long as things get done in
the normal order.
