	The version I am using (syssrc tarball from the 1.4 release?)
seems to only have ufs.c & ufs.h

	That would be the simplest solution, but I think that there
are advantages to keeping them, too:

* I like having variety and choice, and it seems, so do some
  of the other Unixes (e.g. Graphical installer for LinuxPPC,
  the popularity of BootX over Open Firmware or yaboot)

* I remember that it was a lot easier, as a first-time installer on
  an unsupported machine, to use MacOS based tools, rather than the
  alternative, which would have been a hang with the install kernel
