Are you sure there is no other dir starting with `samba-2.0.3'
reachable through `cdpath'? At least, it works for me.

I don't thnik so, at least when we speak about `_path_files' since
that completes only file names and there the slash is not only useful
to have, but it's also the way builtin completion behaves.

Otherwise, I'd liek to mention my suggestion about `style'-entries in
`compconfig' again. Could you sent a list of all the things the
example functions do that you don't like? That way we could probably
come up with a list of things we'd like to make user-configurable.
