Darren Hart created a shell script which uses debugfs to do all of the
dirty work, called populate-extfs.sh which I believe Linaro and the
Yocto project is using instead of genext2fs.
I'm not entirely sure this the latest version, but so you can get a
flavor of the script, see:
http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/45415/
Darren, if you think the script is pretty stable, I'd be happy to drop
the latest version of it into the contrib directory of e2fsprogs.
Cheers,
