Hey folks,

I'm taking a look at the diffs that Luoqi has posted in the development
directory on ftp.freebsd.org, and I tried patching them to my system...
and it worked????  Clean patches?  Whoa!

Armed with this bit of euphoria, I'm tempted to recompile the kernel and
try it.  What happens now?  Does it just "know" that I'm mounting a Win95
partition and Do The Right Thing?  Or do I need to do something special?

How crazy would it be to add this (or the other msdosfs diff someone came
up with) to -STABLE for the impending release?  It may be experimental,
but our msdosfs has always been sort of...well...experimental anyway.  :-) 

Wondering out loud again.  I remember in the last discussion, the
conclusion was "You msdosfs people get together and figure out what you're
going to do", and I'd like to push for that!  

Pushing...

Brian
