Can someone add-enable 'fstransform' source code to cater for 'reiser4' filesystems please.

[doiggl]

Hello,
Can someone add-enable 'fstransform' source code to cater for 'reiser4'
filesystems please.

these file systems done already[1].

source:
fstransform-0.9.3-src.tar.bz2 
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/filesystems/fstransform

I  can copy source and arrange a build  from revised source code if
needed.

spec:https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/filesystems/fstransform/fstransform.spec?expand=1

example build
log:https://build.opensuse.org/build/filesystems/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/x86_64/fstransform/_log


- If someone can add 'reiser4 file' system to fstransform utility.
I can get that that Compiled at https://build.opensuse.org/
It would prove very useful.

Thanks,
--Glenn
