How to create SMB iPhone/iPad client application

I can smell a smoke from my head a little bit.

I'm trying to create an iPhone/iPad application which can find computers in the network and then browse their shared directories and for example read some documents, play videos and so on. It would be great to do it with SMB protocol because you don't have to install it on that computers (like Win, ...). Bonjour looks pretty good but it is not installed by default on the comptures with windows. I've been looking for some library which I could include and use but with no success. I found something about libsmbclient but with no idea how to add it to my project (read something about cross-compiling but I believe in the easier way). Also XBMC crossed my way of looking for something but still with no idea how to use it for my intention.

Could someone please give me a hint?

Thanks.
