Hmmm... So you want to implement a kind of browsing of SMB networks 
directly in the filesystem?  I'm not aware of anyone doing anything like 
that. In my experience browsing Windows networks tends to be slow and 
unreliable, would you want to have something like that implemented in a 
filesystem?

It would be very interesting to see working however! Perhaps it could be 
implemented as an extension to smbfs?

Don't worry, I had no trouble understanding. :)
