VFAT.XFS would be really useful for MiNT world, no doubts. Someone could 
do it, definitely. It should not be that hard, anyway.

BTW, what about to write a BOS/DOS(?) driver for MetaDOS being able to 
read/write(?) VFAT filesystems? IIRC Atari stated that other filesystems 
should be added via the MetaDOS drivers, right?
