-1.	Make dump honor the no-dump attribute on directories.  Currently, it
-	honours it only on files.  This means that a directory flagged with
-	the no-dump attribute will be dumped if it contains a file without
-	the no-dump flag.

-7.	Clean-up the code by removing all those #ifdef _BSD, 
-	since nobody would ever re-compile this on a BSD system. 
-	Since the tape format is the same, the native BSD
-	restore can be used to restore tapes...

+5.	Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making

+
+6.	Add a compression mode using zlib on each file (see
+	http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib).

+7.	Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible...
