Sorry for not getting to this sooner...

We really should make smbc_set_credentials_with_fallback()
take all const values for workgroup, user, password. We
don't want to be adding new non-const function signatures
here.

smbc_set_credentials should also have all const values
as well, but that would be an ABI change which we're
trying to avoid.

But for new functions this should be const-only.

Jeremy.
