Yes. Porting their fsck_msdos might be useful too. fsck(8) under
both NetBSD and OpenBSD is a simple program that executes the
appropriate fsck_xxx command for a given filesystem type (just like
mount(8)). I think it would make sense to adopt their approach, as it
also allows for new filesystem types to be seamlessly integrated into
fsck(8) (e.g. fsck_ntfs). Their fsck_ffs is virtually identical to our
fsck, so I imagine porting other fsck_xxx's shouldn't be too hard.
