Comment:

 Fixed by svn 493.  The code now uses whatever filesystem is actually
 present in the partition, based on looking at the super block or BPB or
 whatever.  It issues a warning if the filesystem is ext2/3 but the
 partition type is not 0x83, or if the partition type is 0x83 but the
 filesystem is FAT.

 It blindly believes the partition type for "minix", because recognizing a
 Minix filesystem is a little tricky due to an intermediate second-level
 partition map embedded within the Minix partition.

 I also config-ed out support for UFS filesystems, since they are never
 seen on
 the types of removable media that OLPC uses.
