I believe this is done.  I looked into this before 5.2 and saw that the 
main difference was support for the dirty bit.  trhodes@ merged those 
changes and bde@ did some cleanup.  At this point, I don't think there's 
a major msdosfs diff between the two.

As for the other stuff, sure, it's great to keep trying to merge stuff 
from Darwin (and NetBSD, and OpenBSD, and DFBSD, ...) but I don't think 
that kind of general wish should be a TODO.
