On the very real chance of making a fool of myself: if ext2fsP.h includes 
ext2fs.h and now finddev.c will include ext2fsP.h - shouldn't we omit the '#include 
"ext2fs.h"' in finddev.c (and namei.c) now?

I guess the compiler/preprocessor will figure this out, just wondering about
code cleanliness. Then again we have names like 'ext2_fs.h' and 
'ext2fs.h', I guess only an insider will know the difference :-)

Christian.
