+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.
