It isn't independent by any means, it's just so hopelessly outdated that 
you weren't even able to trace it back to the ancient Samba code it was 
once derived from...

... and nope, if FUSE is out of question, then you're out of luck, unless 
you are willing to reimplement the VFS on top of libsmbclient yourself:
