This one might be the starting point. We might start to write the need
interface to use the reiserfs (not progreiserfs) for our use. This
might allow us to get a good idea of what would be required to support
it.

Other filesystems that doesn't has libraries, we might write a
"backport" for the VFS to call those commands and try to keep this
interface stable. So for "us" it would looks like it was a library.

Thoughts?
