[gollem] SMB as backend

I agree with Jan here.  Although the SMB module isn't available now, it 
is coded and pretty much guaranteed to be in some Horde 3.x release in 
the future.  Thus, at some point, a configuration example will be 
necessary - we might as well include it from the beginning.

By Kevin's reasoning, we could *never* include the example smb config 
in any gollem 1.x release since we will never be able to guarantee that 
a sufficiently new version of Horde is being used.  That doesn't seem 
like the best option.
