Right. But following this way BB e2fsprogs got stuck, unfortunately...
One has to build vanilla e2fsprogs which tend to inflate more and
more. A bare ext2 filesystem seems not so hard to generate, it's just
me who doesn't feel comfortable when dealing with
inodes/superblocks/fragments and so on...

Another feature I'd like to introduce is optional putting of extlinux
(from Peter Anvin's syslinux) stuff (boot sector + ldlinux?) in the
shiny new filesystem, thus avoiding building external syslinux which
now requires you have not only perl, but python to be built :(
