smbfs is compiled in because before cofs and the module
installing initrd (which still seems more trouble than its
worth judging from reports from people whose crashes go away
when they disable it) having the ability to mount windows
volumes over the network without modules was deemed very
usefull. Changing it now would mean stuff unexpectedly
starting to fail on upgrade for a marginal saving in
memory.
