nautilus has an explicit dependency in the spec file on gnome-vfs2-smb.
It does not have any apparent dependency on libsmb.so that is provided
by gnome-vfs2-smb (nothing seems to have such a dependency). If I don't
have any need to browse Windows networks, why do I need the software
installed?
libsmb.so is dlopen'd, so no ldd dependency.
Features are great; _required_ features are not.
The reason for a Requires here (and in similar cases)
is to suck in gnome-vfs2-smb when anaconda upgrades
a system.
Comes up with some package in most releases, and there
are a fair number of Requires: that exist purely for
that reason.
