| You can separate smblib from main samba code, but how are You going to
| keep it in state with original samba code, which is being continously changed

  In at least two ways:
  	1) don't **really** seperate it.  Ship samba and smblib updates
  	   at the same time, and always link statically witgh it inside
  	   samba.
  	2) Synchronize the two with a version number.  I'm working
  	   on a product that uses shared libraries, and we synch on
  	   the lowest-level structures.
  	   
   The latter trick predates Unix, by the way: my Multics machine
was updated regularly by routines which were sensitive to 
x.y-type versions numbers.  It's easy once you've done it once (:-))
