NETBEUI support?

What's the status of the NETBEUI support in the kernel? The four files under
linux/net/netbeui have been there a long while but they have no Makefile and
don't compile when I attempt to do so manually.

As usual, I have a vacation job installing Linux in a previously
Windows-dominated environment. It'd have been nice to be able to use SMB
networking without having to install an IP stack on _all_ the Windows boxes.

Was the support abandoned because of the fundamental brokenness of the
protocol design?
