The idea behind this was that the vfs module could be passed
per-share options using the smb.conf file.  I suppose it's
equally valid that they could be configured using another
configuration file.  It's just that you have all this config file
infrastructure in Samba and it seems as shame not to be able to
use it in a vfs module.

It was hard to think of a nice syntax that would not confuse the
parser though...
