- complete the implementation of ntfs_attr_truncate() (for compressed files)
- add write of compressed attributes
- write ntfs_index_{rm_from,add_to,create,rm}()
- detect presence of usnjrnl and if present and mounting rw, re-stamp it (see
current ntfs wip driver)
*******************
* MEDIUM priority *
*******************
- create API reference book template (cf. linux kernel)
- enable automatic creation of API reference
- write ntfs_file_name_{add,rm}_from_mft_record() or _from_ntfs_inode(?)
- write ntfs_file_unlink()
- write ntfs_file_create()
- write API for conventional high level file access.
- implement loads of utilities a-la ntcp, ntrm, ntcreat, etc...
- implement an ntfs shell where can use the above much faster with caching,
probably extending the library in the process
- implement {a,m,r}time updates in the library.
****************
* LOW priority *

- Do we attach attributes (ntfs_attr) to the corresponding ntfs_inode? Now we
just atach the inode to the attribute and expect the user to not shoot
themselves in the foot.
- add read/set of various file attributes/flags to library
- add ACL read/write support to library
- add MS BackupAPI to library
- add volume resizing support to library
- add defrag API to library
- write utilities for all of the above
