After finally having to go to the source to find out what the message
"File system has an incompatible feature installed"
really meant to me, I thought it might save time for others using ext2/3 to know what the compatible
features are. I made changes to the 1.8.8 version I obtained from the tarball but I don't know how
to build a patch file in the format which you require. Here's what I have now:
