I don't know if this is at all useful, but I have come across the
following patches, which appear to have been ported from Darwin, to
improve handling of multibyte character sets:
http://people.freebsd.org/~imura/kiconv/
It would be interesting to see these committed (if they are valuable),
as I know there are issues with FreeBSD mount_smbfs when operating
against the Mac OSX samba implementation, which (I am told) only speaks
UCS2.
Given the work already gone into these, it would be nice to see them
finished off and committed... I wonder how many other smbfs-related
improvements may exist in Darwin that might be worth looking at?
