Unless something surprising and unusual was done in either ffsv2 or
growfs, it would be roughly as hard as building a shrink tool starting
with an empty file instead of growfs.  Growing is very easy compared to
shrinking - compare the amount of code in resize_ffs for growing vs
shrinking.  Indeed, resize_ffs was originally going to be just a shrink
tool, but after writing that it became obvious that growing was
basically a trivial add-on to the shrinker.
