Please note that there is an Internet Draft for the SMB URL.

See:

For more information on SMB/CIFS, see also:

Due to the peculiarities of the Java language, the jCIFS project (listed
above) is released under the LGPL.  Can you compile Java into a .so?

    Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them
    with your hands...you choose them as your guides, and following
    them you will reach your destiny.  --Carl Schultz
