Kernel module "shfs" for next Ubuntu release?

yes, that's all great, I already knew that I can transfer files via ssh 
with kde and gnome, but I was searching for a suitable method working 
_without_ any desktop environment or a specified program, so _all_ 
programs can write to it.
e.g. if you have the program "kino" or "dvgrab" and you want to transfer 
some large files to another pc (which has a big hard drive), your 
programs don't work well, but a mount does.

That's why I'm asking for shfs to be in the next standard kernel - only 
as a module, of course, but with the possibility of an easy
modprobe-and-working.


See you, and thanks to Al Gordon for the tip with "module-assistant" - 
nevertheless, I don't get it right today. ;-)

P.S.: Is there any possibility to write files which are larger than 2 GB 
on a SMB mount? (yes: a samba mount, not ssh)
