Since recent kernels have a tendency to set this feature willy-nilly,
let's just enable by default. It's only very old kernels that don't
support it any more.

This makes it easier to upgrade to ext4 in the future, and it speeds

Also removed the --enable-dynamic-static configure option.
Unfortunately the usefulness of building e2fsck statically is gone on
all modern distributions, since everything else on the system is built
dynamically these days. In fact on some distributions it is almost
impossible to build programs statically any more.

Previously we used a hard-coded test where for the Alpha and the IA64,
we used lseek instead of llseek(). Generalize this to whenver
sizeof(long) is the same as sizeof(long long).
It turns out this fixes a FTBFS problem on the x86_64 for Debian,
since dietlibc doesn't provide llseek() on that architecture.

Recent e2fsprogs (1.40.3 and higher) fsck compares primary superblock to
backups, and if things differ, it forces a full check. However, the
kernel has a penchant for updating flags the first time a feature is
used - attributes, large files, etc.
This is a bad idea, and we should break the kernel of this habit,
especially for the ext4 feature flags. But for now, let's make e2fsck
avoid forcing a full check and backup except when absolutely
necessary.

The test_fs flag is an "ok to be used with test kernel code" flag. It
makes it easier for us to determine whether a filesystem should be
mounted using ext4 or not.

Apparently Mac OS 10.5 defines fstat64(), but not ftruncate64(),
causing resize2fs to fail to build. So check explicitly for
ftruncate64(), and fall back to ftruncate() if necessary.

If we can't use ftruncate64(), and have to use ftruncate() instead,
make sure that we don't accidentally truncate the size when we chop it
down to an off_t before calling ftruncate(), lest we severely damage a
filesystem image file.

Originally submitted by Jason Pyeron:
While working with a compromized system (suckit root kit) hidden files
were viewable by debugfs but not any other utility. When spaces and
tabs were put into the directory names defugfs did not "show" them.
"ls -p" quotes the output so is can be parsed easily.

Fedora and Red Hat puts the devmapper library in different locations
compared to Debian, so we use pkg-config. Unfortunately Debian's
devmapper.pc file is buggy (See Debian Bug #390243), so we have to
work around it.
Historically, e2fsprogs has tried not to depend on pkg-config, since
its answers are so often **wrong** (the Debian bug has been ignored
for over a year), so I'm hoping I'm not going to regret this.

Approximately two years ago a revamp of the e2fsprogs build

When recovering a large number of deleted files, linking the undeleted
inodes to directories may require a directory to be expanded. This
could allocate a block that that had been used by one of the
yet-to-be-undeleted files. So the 'undel' command been enhanced to
allow the destination pathname to be optional. This will allow the
cautious user to undelete all of the inodes without specifying a
destination pathname, and then either use debugfs's link command to
add hard links, or use e2fsck to link all of the recovered files to
the lost+found directory.

Previously "e2fsck -fD" on a non-htree directory would sort the
directory alphabetically by name. That's stupid. Better to sort the
directory by inode number, since that will optimize performance much
more significantly than sorting by name!

The adduser package is 'important', and while it is often installed,
we can't guarantee that it will always be there. A required package,
or a package which is dragged in by a required package, such as
libuuid1, shouldn't depend on an 'important' package since that would
implicitly make it be required, which shouldn't be done unless
absolutely necesary.
So we replace the call to adduser with the lower-level useradd and
groupadd programs. They are part of the passwd package, which is
required to be on all Debian systems.

Some people are still running ancient Debian distributions, such as
woody, with a 2.4 kernel, and they want to be able to use the
e2fsck-static package on backlevel systems.
It turns out that we can't just statically link against glibc anymore,
since glibc now uses thread-local storage everywhere. So we now build
e2fsck-static using dietlibc.

When compiling with diet libc, <sys/types.h> must be included in order
to define the types used in asm/types.h. Strange choice, but
workable. This doesn't cause much problems for e2fsprogs except
blkid/tst_types.h, which needed a #include of <sys/types.h>.
