smbmount with big file sizes

[Les Barstow]

Is there a reason this hasn't made it into the Samba and mnt.smbfs main
trees yet?  I would have use of it, but it seems odd that it isn't
included in many default kernel builds or in the main Samba build - I
don't want to mess up a production box by doing so.

Thanks,
Les Barstow
