At the moment it is:

#ifdef 0
#else
#endif

(-:

I intend to take a look at dlopen() and friends when things settle down a
bit more.

Something that has been at the back of my mind is the fact that linking
something with a GPLed something else (i.e samba) makes the first thing
come under the GPL as well.  So, if some commercial entity makes a samba
super-widget interface, the code for it will be GPL.

Well I just want to be sure that the routines get passed proper unix
filenames as the vfs back end is turning out to be along the lines of
unix/posix io calls similar to how smbwraper looks.
