Subject: [ANN] Ruby/SMB - ruby interface to the libsmbclient library

Hi list,

After a long time of lurking in the Ruby community I have finally 
managed to produce something...

Ruby/SMB is a C library that glues together Ruby and samba's 
libsmbclient. It makes it very easy to work with smb network resources 
- they behave almost exactly like local directories and files!

It is an early alpha, supposed to be released tomorrow, but due to the 
overwhelming demand for smb client libs on this list [;o)] I decided to 
released it today. I'm not sure it will compile on your computer, but 
it does on mine, and it works well. Please report bugs and I'll fix 
them asap.

Also, libsmbclient is an alpha, included in the samba 3.0 alpha 
distribution. It took some tweaking of its code to get it to compile on 
my computer, but it wasn't too hard. I'm in contact with the samba 
development team and it seems most issues with the lib will be fixed 
pretty soon.

So... here it is...

And thanks Dave for the lovely documentation tool. =)
