-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 the tape format is the same, the native BSD

+6.	Add a compression mode using zlib on each file (see

+7.	Add some support in dump and restore for numbering in sequence

+
+8.	Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible...
