Hi, Andrew!

I agree. They screw mc up even on the local system. It's not an excuse for
limiting smbfs to non-hiddent files.

I think it's fine.
It's nice to see somebody actually using SMBFS :-)

1) Yes for now, but ideally all that GUI stuff should be removed from VFS.
2) Don't forget the dot at the end of sentences.

> +	(is_error): commented

1) Commented _out_.
2) Use capital letters when you start sentences.

1) Same as above.
2) Use exectly one tab for indentation.

Sorry for being a little pedantic. Akim Demaille used to teach me this on
the Autoconf list, now it's my turn :-)
