- No problem. "/etc/fscmd.d" is a SCO-ism. "/etc/fs" is an acceptable
- replacement. Someone else mentioned separate "/etc/mkfs/*", "/etc/fsck/*",
- etc., which idea I *don't* like.

- This weekend I'm going to see if I can collect some sources for existing
- filesystems and commands and try to put together a first release of this
- stuff. (Filesystem authors/maintainers might want to get in touch with me
- if this will cause problems, e.g. would prefer me to wait until next beta
- release comes out :-)
