I don't have it available at this time because for one thing I don't know the best way to package it. Since the FreeBSD source is a moving target, it doesn't make any sense to serve it up as a diff. Although most of it exists in /usr/src/sys/fs/minixfs there are some changes in the main source: The modules Makefile, the Makefile for minixfs_mount.c and the vnode.h include file needs the addition to the enum at the beginning. If I there is no interest in putting it in the FreeBSD source or the ports collection, I could just send out a tar file in mime format to interested people.
