- clean up some debugging and verbose output - use fs_cstotal.cs_nifree rather than fs->fs_ncg * fs->fs_ipg to determine the number of free inodes available in the file system - don't count '.' (the root node for a level) in inode sizing, since the parent has already been counted - some more todo items

makefs - create a file system image from a directory tree. It doesn't need any special privileges or kernel devices. Only ffs image creation is supported at this time, although makefs has been designed to allow the addition of other file system formats by writing new back-ends. This program was designed & implemented by Luke Mewburn of Wasabi Systems.

- finish makefs.8
- testing
- even more testing
a possible feature...

- add support for converting a tar file (instead of a directory tree);

- size estimation is still out (need to take into account indirect blocks!)

- parameter checking when density is rather high or low.
- filling up a file system (running out of inodes or whatever)
doesn't do the right thing.

- consider replacing ffs_balloc() et al with own code that doesn't
need hacked-up buf.c code
more stuff

- whacking on newfs/mkfs.c to allow .PATH-ing directly into makefs(8).
this would involve passing all of mkfs()'s parameters in a single
struct rather than a lot of global vars, etc.
