I'll writting a tutorial and an example module,
witch descripes how to update 2.2 and 3.0aplha modules

But first I'll complete the code and test it :-)

this tutorial will find place in the Developers-Guide :-)

the memory could be talloced on the conn->mem_ctx talloc context,
witch I will add with the new vfs interface.

or you can use memory allocation as you want.

and the freeing will be done by the vfs_hanlde->free_data(&vfs_handle->data);
