I have added this to the projects file, but with the following reservations:
Notes: (Kern). If you need to do a bscan, you have done something wrong,
so this functionality should not need to be integrated into the
the Storage daemon. However, I am not opposed to someone
implementing this feature providing that all the code is in a shared
object (or dll) and does not add significantly to the size of the
Storage daemon. In addition, the code should be written in a way such
that the same source code is used in both the bscan program and the
Storage daemon to avoid adding a lot of new code that must be
maintained by the project.
