Is this ever /not/ defined?  ext2_fs.h should always define this, right?

You know, I've always wondered about why there are unary plus scattered
throughout calls to this function in e2fsprogs.

Are you going to fix this? :)

Shouldn't this just be i_size = target_len?

$ ln -s "$(perl -e 'print "x" x 4000;')" cow

...nets me a symlink with a reported length of 4000.

Come to think of it, ext4 (kernel) doesn't seem to allow slow symlinks to have
a target longer than $blocksize.  I suspect that might be a side effect of
blocksize <= pagesize, and therefore we allocate at most a page's worth to read
the target into.

Either way, we probably ought to check.

Also, I think the VFS errors out if you try to pass '' as the target, so
perhaps we ought to look for that.

I think the rest looks more or less ok, barring the 80 char overflows that I
think is happening on the ext2fs_file_write line.
