VFS examples

[Ewout Prangsma]

Hello Simon,

I'm working on a Java bridge, so I've implemented a samba VFS that 
routes all calls to a Java Virtual machine.
I've encountered the same problems you have, the "solution" I'm using is 
not to use any of the smbd symbols. It seems that smbd gets strip'ed on 
install after which all dynamic linking goes wrong.
Maybe there should be an unstripped version of smbd, or the VFS 
interface should be extended to pass some function pointers.

Please let me know if you're interested, then I can send you some of my 
stuff.

Regards
Ewout
