Some of my mails to this list seem to end up in the bit-bucket or are
significantly delayed, including commit mails, but I was discussing this
earlier.  I also seem to be in an unfortunate revert war with Ivo, as
I've pushed the patch for the reverse - moving all vfs modules and
manpages to libsmbd0.  

I agree, we may actually have not reason to keep libsmbd0, it exists
mostly to support the fact that the python bindings and 'smbd' use this
library.
