For people who are curious about how the extents patch for e2fsprogs
is going, here's what I currently have as a work in progress.  With
this patch, e2fsck will currently correctly handle a valid filesystem
that contains extents, but it's missing a lot of sanity checks.  In
particular, the pass1b code hasn't been enhanced to deal with extents
yet, plus checks to make sure the extent tree are sane are missing.
But it should be enough for people to get the general idea of where
I'm going.
