Agreed. Unfortunately I don't think there is a sane way to
do the changenotify calls using the exported libsmbclient
interface. We certainly do have the ability to do so using
the tevent_req API, but this is a layer below libsmbclient
and not exported publically. This is definitely something
that would be very nice to have, but it's just not done yet.
