| 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 (:-))
