If the first effort gives us an incremental improvement over what we got, let the merge happen. If it just so happens they are good at keeping up with NetBSD and/or making fixes to the code, we come out even more ahead. We've reached the point on msdosfs that it would be hard to make things worse than they are right now. Warner
