-distributed in source form only. Please feel free to give a copy of
-the e2fsck binary to help a friend recover his or her filesystem, as
-the need arises. However, "pre" or "WIP" indicates that this release
-is under development, and available for ALPHA testing. So for your

-distribution --- especially not a CD-ROM distribution!
