I found a really old piece of code written in C++ that implements HFS 
access using command line style syntax.  It predates all the other HFS 
utility packages I've seen.  There is an author's name, e-mail address, 
and a comment that he's willing to talk about other uses or license 
agreements.  If anyone wants to take a look at it, use it as a guide for 
writing an in-kernel HFS or to try to contact the authur just let me know.
