 	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.

+8.	Modify (or get rid of) rmt in order to work with non Linux

+
+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
