[Samba] ANNOUNCE: cifs-utils release 4.1 available for download
This release is primarily a number of small bugfixes and cleanups. I wanted to do a release with those prior to the coming overhaul of mount.cifs to allow it to more safely be installed setuid root. There a couple of other noticeable changes too: - the version reported by all programs in the tarball now matches the VERSION define set by autoconf. That is, if someone runs "mount.cifs --version", it'll report "4.1" for this release. This should make it easier to get accurate release info in bug reports. - cifs.upcall is now optional. It's still built by default, but if any of libraries or headers aren't present that it needs, a warning is printed by "configure" and it'll be disabled.

If we ever need to have different behavior in kernel for different mount.cifs versions, we can bump this number.
