External Samba library interface

It occured to me that there may be some opinions about the interface
that is exposed in a externally usable Samba client library. Our plans
to simply expose the internal interfaces (the cli_ functions, etc) may
not desireable to developers. Would it be more appropriate to expose
something similar to the smblib (http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/smblib/)
interface that Richard Sharpe worked on several years ago?
Advantages of the exposing internal cli_ interface is that the library
could be used by current samba client apps without code modification.
The disadvantage of the internal cli_ interface is that is may be too
low-level for what is needed by SMB client app developers.
Any comments?
