Yes, I just looking at -current.

My initial interest in 'fsck' was mainly to make my 'fsck_msdos'
code more compatible with it. (This was written without looking at
'fsck').

However, I thought I'd spend a week or two pulling 'fsck' apart
because all the other similar stuff I've ever looked at has a lot
of problems.  And it is interesting to see how far 'fsck' can be
pushed before it breaks, besides being a good way to study the
code.

I'm not really looking at the source _because_ I want to change
it, but - from results so far - I think there'll probably be a few
changes I'd like to try out anyway.
