Was there any consideration given to delivering ntfsprogs as public utilities (rather than project private)? I see that a limited sub-set of ntfsprogs is being delivered, no doubt because thats the sub-set that gparted uses, but if ntfsprogs were to be delivered in /usr/[s]bin it would be great to see the other utilities included (ntfscp, ntfsls, ntfscat ...). I expect the demand for user-accessible ntfsprogs will increase once ntfs-3g is delivered. -M
