+3.     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). The BSD code in traverse.c
        (all those #ifdef _BSD) should go into the ffs backend.

          a archive_file
             Archive file. Archive a dump table-of-contents  in
             the   specified   archive_file   to   be  used  by
             ufsrestore(1M) to determine whether a file  is  in
             the dump file that is being restored.

+8.     Modify (or get rid of) rmt in order to work with non Linux
+       systems (limited succes has been reported). A good version 
+       of rmt to be looked at is part of star

+
+9.     EA/ACL support in dump (requested by Michael Ju. Tokarev 
+       <mjt@tls.msk.ru>.
+
+10.    Better readline completition in restore (escape spaces etc).

+11.    Dump compiled with RedHat's 7.0 gcc seems to hang for some
+       people. When compiled with kgcc all the problems disappear.
+       Will the RedHat's 7.1 gcc resolve this ?
+
+12.    Dump uses /dev/tty for reporting some messages. When invoked
+       from a script, /dev/tty may not exist. Why not using just
+       stderr ?
