libsmbclient size too big for embedded

A few years ago, when I wrote my first CIFS book, I started a small
side-project with the goal of building a compact CIFS client library in C.
I did not get very far, unfortunately, before other pressures redirected my
attention and energies.  The NBT piece is fairly complete, but that's the
only part that I finished (it was easy).  See http://ubiqx.org/libcifs/ for
the remains and cobwebs.  It's LGPL code.

Right now, I am in the first month of a one-year exile from writing any CIFS
code (see
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/samba-microsoft-cooperate-on-new-set-of-smbcifs-docs/4681
for the reason).  It's annoying but necessary.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
