As you can see, I did take USE into consideration.  My point was really
just that samba can have quite a few dependencies, so we would want to
do something to control it.

If we were to include samba, or more precisely smbmount and any
*required* libraries, we would want to make sure that we turned off any
support that wasn't necessary.  I would think we would want to compile
it with minimal options.  Would we even require pam and readline in
USE?  I tend to think we could get away with building from the
equivalent of USE=-* then only copying the smbmount and the required
libraries to the actual system.  We're looking for the equivalent of a
"samba-client" package, without actually adding one to the tree.
