r853: remove a real big bunch of unused code
I really think that this is needed to get a better overview of what is currently used Also this stuff is really out of date so if we really ever need some of this stuff back, a 'svn copy' from the SAMBA_3_0 branch should be no big problem... metze (This used to be commit 972598d511c64f29bdc849fe58c9c82fbcf6a4a2)

-This is a prelodable shared library that provides SMB client services
-for existing executables. Using this you can simulate a smb
-filesystem.
-
-*** This is code under development. Some things don't work yet ***
-
-Currently this code has been tested on:
-
-- Linux 2.0 with glibc2 (RH5.1)
-- Linux 2.1 with glibc2
-- Solaris 2.5.1 with gcc
-- Solaris 2.6 with gcc
-- SunOS 4.1.3 with gcc
-- IRIX 6.4 with cc
-- OSF1 with gcc
-
-
-It probably won't run on other systems without some porting. If you
-have a different system then see the file PORTING.
-
-To use it you need to do this:
-
-1) build smbwrapper.so using the command "make smbwrapper"
-3) run smbsh
-
-You will be asked for a username and password. After that you will be
-returned to a shell prompt. It is actually a subshell running with
-smbwrapper enabled.
-
-Now try to access /smb/SERVER for some SMB server name and see what
-happens. If you use the -W option to set your workgroup or have
-workgroup set in your smb.conf then listing /smb/ should list all SMB
-servers in your workgroup.
-
-
-OPTIONS
--------
-
--U username
- specify the username and optional password (as user%password)
-
--d debug level
- This is an integer that controls the internal debug level of smbw. It
- defaults to 0, which means no debug info.
-
--l logfile
- The place where smbw debug logs are put. If this is not set then
- stderr is used.
-
--P prefix
- The root of the SMB filesystem. This defaults to /smb/ but you can
- set it to any name you like.
-
--W workgroup
- This is the workgroup used for browsing (ie. listing machines in the
- /smb/ directory). It defaults to the one set in smb.conf.
-
--R resolve order
- This allows you to override the setting of the name resolve order
- from smb.conf
-
-
-ATTRIBUTE MAPPING
------------------
-
-smbwrapper does an inverse attribute maping to what Samba does. This
-means that the archive bit appears as the user execute bit, the system
-bit appears as the group execute bit and the hidden bit appears as the
-other execute bit. You can control these with chmod. The mapping can
-be enabled an disabled using the normal smb.conf controls (ie. "map
-archive", "map system" and "map hidden").
-
-Read-only files appear as non-writeable by everyone. Writeable files
-appear as writeable by the current user.
-
-
-WHAT WORKS
-----------
-
-Things that I have tried and do seem to work include:
-
- emacs, tar, ls, cmp, cp, rsync, du, cat, rm, mv, less, more, wc, head,
- tail, bash, tcsh, mkdir, rmdir, vim, xedit, diff
-
-things that I know don't work:
-
- anything executing from the share
- anything that uses mmap
- redirection within shells to smbsh files
-
-If you want to help with the development of this code then join the
-samba-technical mailing list.
