NetBSD has already changed at least fsck to fsck_ffs ... fsck is now a
"wrapper" much like mount is.

Eventually, we will have:

	newfs_ffs
	dump_ffs
	fsck_ffs
	mount_ffs

	newfs_lfs
	dump_lfs
	fsck_lfs
	mount_lfs

	...etc.

The userland utility name should match the name used to mount the file
system.  It should be "msdos" unless you change the name of the file
system (kernel sources included).
