Updating CPAN's Filesys::SmbClient

[Philip A. Prindeville]

Ok, guess no one uses Perl to work with SMB.  Too bad.

Or they won't admit it in public.  :-)

Well, if any trolls want to try it out and see me their comments

Note that "make test" fails because I'm still rewriting the test suite. 
Everything should work.
