hmmm ... i have a "genext2fs" executable currently sitting in my
/usr/local/bin, dated dec 10.  i can't imagine i could have got it
=66rom anywhere other than a CVS checkout at that time and, when i run
it, i get:

$ /usr/local/bin/genext2fs
Usage: /usr/local/bin/genext2fs [options] image
Create an ext2 filesystem image from directories/files

  -x image                Use this image as a starting point
  -d directory            Add this directory as source
  -f file                 Add nodes (e.g. devices) from this spec file
  -b blocks               Size in blocks
  -i inodes               Number of inodes
  -r reserved             Number of reserved blocks
  -g path                 Generate a block map file for this path
  -e value                Fill unallocated blocks with value
  -z                      Make files with holes
  -v                      Print resulting filesystem structure
  -h                      Show this help

Example of spec file:
drwx            /dev
crw-    10,190  /dev/lcd
brw-    1,0     /dev/ram0
