The last commits were made by me.  However there's some deeper design
problem which prevents me from fixing it cleanly and completely.

I think the ext2resize development is frozen now because developers are busy
with their jobs as Andreas Dilger and I am.  And ext2resize became less important
as it used to be after resize2fs from e2fsprogs was released as free software.
BTW, ext2resize consumes less memory than resize2fs.

I just saw your debian 1.1.19-6 release, so reply. Thanks for your work.
