This may be a bit more complex than the typical new package...

The cifs utilities traditionally were shipped as part of samba upstream.
Upstream, we're splitting the tools out of samba and into an entirely new
repo/project. We've decided to make the initial upstream release "4.0" to make
it easier for distro packagers to transition from a samba-based package to this
one.

Fedora has always shipped these tools as part of the samba-client package. For
F13, we've already split these tools out of the samba-client package and into a
cifs-utils subpackage. That package is now in updates-testing and should
hopefully make it into F13 by the time its released.

When we're ready to approve this package, we'll probably want to coordinate its
release with a samba package release. We can then have samba stop building a
cifs-utils subpackage and push this package into the repo.  Users should then
get the new package more or less seamlessly.

We'll definitely want to do this for F14, and may even want to consider doing
the same for F13 as well.
