I think what Boaz was talking about here was is the fact that the Samba team
(tridge) are talking about porting Samba to the Windows environment for ROS.
My (limited) understanding of this is it would be a 'real' emulation of
cifs/netbt, not samba running in a unix environment via POSIX. 

Speak to Steven Edwards or KJK for more info as they were talking to Tridge.
