Well... I'm expressing unhappiness of chasing a changing, completely
nonstandard interface when there is a nice, standard interface which
would also let you use smbfs in /etc/fstab and so on.
mount.smbfs is the only sensible way to do -- anything else is just a
hack. I'm actually, more than anything, regretting writing mount_smbfs
in the first place, but at the time mount didn't support
mount.<filesystem>... I encouraged it to be added.
