Hi Chris,

If you find that you need to make any changes to the libsmbclient context
structure, it's probably worthwhile coordinating that with me.  There are some
compatibility issues that have come up in the past that I'll be able to warn
you about if they appear to be ready to bite again.

Cheers,
