We change that interface regularly (particularly depending on what you define to be in that interface), and I would suspect it is dependent on the configure settings from compile time. The first step here would be to develop a patch for Samba3 to produce isolated header files (like libsmbclient has). The problem with the VFS interfaces is that modules tend to use a wide variety of 'internal' Samba functions, along with the VFS interface itself.
