smbmount et al...

well, mike has to rename smbmount to something different, and write a
shell script named "smbmount" that checks the version of the host OS (2.0
or 2.1, whatever), which then calls the renamed-smbmount command as
appropriate. 

all this because "automount" scripts are broken because of the different
syntax.
