smbclient 2.8.8 bugs

Smbclient seems to be compiled with a noisy debug level.

When using it to send a message, it is requesting that the message be 
terminated with a Control-D.

For VMS that should be a Control-Z.

The UNIX code is wrong in that it is hardcoded to state Control-D, when 
the actual end of file character is configurable in the TERMIFO/TERMCAP 
database.  The UNIX version should be using a system call to determine 
what character to tell the user to use.

Of course that would have to be handled still differently on OpenVMS, 
but then it would be likely putting a macro in the config.h file to make 
that system call return a control-Z.
