hmmm...
I don't like very much the idea of duplicating code (and possibly
have to mantain multiple copies). Why don't you just make fdformat
invoke mformat with the appropriate (possibly configurable) arguments
? This way, once mtools 2.XX (or hfstools or whatever) are upgraded
to write a W95 (or HFS) filesystem, you get the new capabilities
for free.
