I think this library doesn't really exist in library form.
Looking at my samba 2.0.7 sources I didn't find any *.a or *.so files there, 
they simply link everything with the object files.
Wouldn't this mean we would have to include this part of the current samba 
sources and build the lib for us own ?

I don't have cvs-sources from samba here, so maybe I am wrong.

For the wrapper-option: do you think it would be theoretically possible to 
start smbclient with a preloaded small lib which overwrites mainly the 
fopen() or whatever function in that way that it doesn't create a file but a 
named pipe ?
This way getting from smbclient would be transparent, wouldn't it ?

Maybe this could work for put too, not sure,but maybe for putting this is not 
such a problem, is it ?
