Seems like you'd like to see one more library as winbind's companion. However, if libsmbclient is licensing stumbling block, then similar situation may happen with such winbind's library :( Besides, I'm not sure whether designing another library is ``the good way out''.
I do not think that libsmbclient is the right way to do this. I think that the correct way is to make the various Samba client RPC libaries available as separate DSOs so that clients can make dirrect use of what they need. Then the wine group can possibly build a thing DLL wrapper around the underlying RPC libraries.
AFAIK, that's where we go ie. separate ms-rpc layer. It won't happen tomorrow, anyway.
