What would it need to do at system startup time? Just curious.

I tried to read from the CVS repo, which says it's read-only, but the
repo kept asking me for a password, so that got nowhere.

But I found  https://github.com/Distrotech/sysfsutils

Is that unofficial?

Either way, I'd be glad to contribute. If the current git repo is close
enough, we can fork it and start from there.

If it is not good enough (it has no version tags, and apparently no
support), we can use a tool (as you suggest) to import the CVS stuff and
start from there.

This stuff seems to still have plenty of value.
