On second thought, this would be foolish.  Dosfsck can never know for
sure that a filesystem is truly clean; perhaps it was recently mounted
by a smartphone which failed to set the dirty flag.

Instead:

C) A new "express" option should be added to dosfsck.  When the "express" 
option is used, dosfsck should do the following.  If a filesystem's dirty flag 
is set, dosfsck should check the filesystem.  If the flag is unset, the 
filesystem is probably clean; dosfsck should do nothing.
D) When the OS runs dosfsck at startup, it should use the "express" option.
