Somebody left this and the rest of the commented-out code there
for some documentation reason, it seems, so I figured...

It's not like the rest of the code is a thing
of beauty, and this wart is ruining its perfection.  ;)

I have no idea, honestly.  xfsdump is dropped in from some alien
world.  Somebody @ SGI might know, or could find out by looking
at long-lost history?
