Well maybe skip this as there is already a newer one (1.826) out there
with interesting changes - quoted from mailinglist:

---

Minor maintenance release, mainly for the purpose to make ntfs-3g perfectly
work with tools (e.g. rsync) which actively rely on fully posix file
timestamps handling.

Embedded distros may also like the new --disable-library configure option,
thanks to Bernhard Kaindl. Please see more below.

Major changes in this release:

* fix: utime() also updated the timestamp of the parent directory
but it shouldn't have.

* fix: ignore the "volume dirty" bit because its real meaning is
"check the volume". The fact of the real dirtiness is stored in
the NTFS logfile which is already checked for.

* fix: compilation failed with glibc 2.7

* new: the --disable-library 'configure' option can be used not to
install but link libntfs-3g into the ntfs-3g binary. This decreases
the binary size by 10-15% and increases performance by about 2-5%.

In practice that means that you usually don't need the force option when
the dirty bit is set. That's a really nice improvement.
