Hi all, I'm back from hollidays :-)

This is not a problem now. The notation above is still supported internally,
but smb://[user@][workgroup/]host/share/file is now OK.
It's kurl-compliant, and thanks to a better algorithm which enables browsing
during URL-parsing it's now possible to write smb://workgroup/host OR
smb://host and both are accepted.
