[PATCH] smbget : enable update and various cleanup

[neologix at free.fr]

Alright. Round 2 :-)
You'll find 2 patches.
The first one is cleanup: I made static some variables that were unnecessarily
glocal, wrote a header, prototypes, corrected indentation, etc.
The other one is more interesting: it introduces an "update" mode, where we
download a file only if it is newer than its local copy or if there is no local
copy. The reason I hacked this is because I use smbget to do a backup of all my
samba shares, and it's much better if you download only the new files (resume
option doesn't check modification dates, and refuses to overwrite an already
existing file). The second thing is really a detail: when using guest mode, it
now uses "guest" rather than empty username. The reason for that is that empty
wouldn't work for my vista machine, but "guest" does. And it still works for my
xp machine, so it shouldn't be a regression. Also, it's a little bit faster than
before, because for a download without the resume option, we don't have to go
through the whole block.

Please note that I didn't update the Makefile.in (for the new header) nor the
man page.

Cheers,

Charles
