Thanks, I'll look at this.  Speaking of which, a week or two ago I was
going through the clusterfs patches to see if there was anything I had
missed for 1.41.0 that should either go into 1.42 or 1.41.1, and I
noticed there were a number of extra tools, of which freefrag was but
one.

Can I assume a signed-off by "Andreas Dilger <adilger@....com>" for
any of the Clusterfs/Sun e2fsprogs patches in the public patches
directory?  Are there any other user programs in particular that
should be included?
