Well, it's not that difficult. A perfectly good read version (with some write 
capabilities) already exists in the CVS. The necessary support to use it as 
device has been there for over three months too.

But using it as a oplain block device does not allow you to delete or add 
files - unless you want to spend all your time with a hex editor.
