OK.  And I'll stick with standard getopt(3) for 'fsck_msdos'.

A procedural query:  since submitting this, I've built up a list
of various other 'fsck' problems (functional rather than cosmetic,
mostly).

Would it be better to just save the stuff, and later send it in
all as a bunch?  And for initial discussion to -current/-bugs/-hackers,
rather than through 'send-pr'?

Thanks.
