		  See here:
		  <a href="http://www.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-2.2.8.html">http://www.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-2.2.8.html</a>
		  for more information about the security fix
		- Changed download address from us1.samba.org to
		  download.samba.org
		- Seperated and updated gpg verification
		- Set to re-use existing tarball for re-installation
		- I couldn't built 2.2.8 without OpenSSL (even though I
		  never told it to use it), low on time to figure out why
		  it's using it now, so I'll just make it work instead of
		  finding out why <g>:
		  - Added openssl as a prerequisite
		  - Added --with-ssl to configure
		  - Added use of LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS (--with-ssllib and
		    --with-sslinc didn't help any)
		  Anyway, I think it's because I have CUPS installed, but
		  I'm not sure...
