That's another unfinished stub. (Hence "default n")

I planned to implement both mke2fs and genext2fs with the same
infrastructure, and make it work like an archiver (I.E. gene2fs dirname
| bzip2 | ssh me at elsewhere "cat > out.ext2.bz2").  Alas, doing so was
kind of involved...

Again, pre-mothball code I need to refamiliarize myself with.  I spent a
couple years busy with other things, and now I have to go re-read my old
blog entries to familiarize myself with the guts of the ext2 stuff, such as:

  http://landley.net/notes-2007.html#15-02-2007
  http://landley.net/notes-2007.html#16-02-2007
  http://landley.net/notes-2007.html#19-02-2007
  http://landley.net/notes-2007.html#20-02-2007

And so on.  I actually have further revs of it the ext2 stuff here than
I've checked in, they just don't compile. :)
