+Need to verify:
+---------------
+
+1.	Verify that dump works correctly on rev 1 ext2fses (need success
+	reports)
+
+2.	Verify that dump works with kerberos authentification (this
+	was ported from *BSD and was not tested - in fact, this
+	wasn't even compiled in!). Need success reports for this.
+
+Urgent items (for the next stable version):
+-------------------------------------------
 
 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.
 
-2.	Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one
-	invocation, like the SunOS version.

-4.	More documentation? Examples, crontab?

 	filesystem (lseek/read negative count).

+4.	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...
 
-8.	Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and
+5.	Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and
 	make the dump code more generic. This would allow creation
 	of other backends for other filesystems. Implementing a 
 	(v)fat backend should be quite easy, as for BSD ffs (we
 	already have the code for this).
+
+6.	Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making
+	it able to debug dump with gdb.
