That might be a teeny little bit too detailed ;)

I thought about something like a well-defined structure, along these lines:

  struct smb_extra_info
  {
    uint32_t magic_number;	/* "SmBa" or something */
    uint8_t  samba_version[4];  /* { 3, 2, 0, 'a' } */
    uint32_t feature_flags;
    uint32_t bugfix_flags;
    [...]
  };
