    mount.cifs: continued cleanup of open_cred_file and zero out buffer
    
    The parsing for values has been moved to its own function and is a bit
    cleaner. Temporary buffers are zeroed out before being freed to ensure
    passwords/credentials aren't left in released memory.

    mount.cifs: clean up credential file parsing
    
    Remove magic numbers, redundant code and extra variables from open_cred_file().

    automake: don't use @foo@ constructs in Makefile.am
