I have restarted my efforts to work on this again, except I am
developing directly on DragonFly BSD now.  I have plans to eventually
port the code to FreeBSD but no guarantees about that.

Most of the JFS code is written okay and can be conditionalised to
work with various operating systems.  If effort is made to clean up
the common core file system code, like btree and dtree structures, etc
than it should be relatively simple to do the rest.

My read-only implementation of JFS on DragonFly BSD is almost done,
just working on the tedious parts of porting the dtree and imap code
to BSD VFS.  I am currently deprived of hard disk space so my testing
ability is restrained. :-(

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like more information
about the port.
