A very good idea! I haven been looking at some MiNT-docs today, and
the XFS-interface doesn't look very complicated. The problem is to
write the actual filesystem-code, but if it's possible to nick large
portions of it from Linux...

With totally rewritten code FAT32-partitions shouldn't be a problem
either, I guess they're already supported by Linux.
