I wrote a patch to do this some time back.  Stefan Esser
<se@freebsd.org> pointed out that this would be made redundant when
(if?) softupdates is turned into a mount option.  According to him,
mckusick agreed with his point of view on this matter.  You can find
his e-mail to -audit about this here:

	http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=0+0+archive/2001/freebsd-audit/20010218.freebsd-audit

You can find my patch to newfs at
http://www.unixfreak.org/~dima/home/newfs-softdep.diff.  I suppose it
may be a worthwhile addition until se's patch goes in.
