----
- read files from multiple directories with or without root
specification, e.g., makefs -t cd9660 output.iso dir1 root2=dir2
dir3 root4=dir4
- display block numbers for a given file (e.g, /boot)
- finish makefs.8
- testing
- even more testing
- add support for converting a tar file (instead of a directory tree);
suggested by kpneal@pobox.com
outstanding bugs
----------------
- size estimation is still out (need to take into account indirect blocks!)
- parameter checking when density is rather high or low.
- filling up a file system (running out of inodes or whatever)
doesn't do the right thing.
discuss
-------
- consider replacing ffs_balloc() et al with own code that doesn't
need hacked-up buf.c code
- whacking on newfs/mkfs.c to allow .PATH-ing directly into makefs(8).
this would involve passing all of mkfs()'s parameters in a single
struct rather than a lot of global vars, etc.
