Thank you very much for sending this patch. I will apply it in my
Debian tree and I hope that it will be integrated into Ubuntu. My
tree, BTW, is available at two places:

    https://github.com/rbrito/hfsprogs
    http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/hfsprogs.git

If you happen to have patches in Fedora, I would love to get them, to
ease the pain of maintaining this Frankenstein thing.

Thanks,
