If we changed to linker sets instead of a hard coded table in makefs.c,
then we just don't compile in the v7fs files, and no other changes are

I'd be willing to make the changes to support linker sets for this..

This would also allow dynamic loading of fs modules w/o much trouble
through LD_PRELOAD iirc...
