When one tries to access a directory using fsp_opendir, it will fail when
the password is bad and set errno = EPERM.
On the witekfl branch I changed reporting of fsp errors. Now, fsp returns
numeric codes and set Content-Type: text/x-error. The same trick could be
used by SMB. Maybe this help a little to add the auth support.

Changes on my branch are:
- the simplification of decompress_data
- reading by festival. It may help eg. to learn a pronunciation.
- bugfix for the bug 517: Content-Encoding: bzip2
Tell me if you are able to fetch from this branch. My first push has finished
with the error.

BTW, in the links-1.00pre19 the smb protocol was fixed, but I'm still thinking that
using libsmbclient is better.
