Well, what I meant was common/ as a subdirectory of (for example) ffs/,
as a place to put the FFS-specific code that's used by multiple pieces.
fsck and newfs, for example, could (and I think do even at present)
share some code.

Though you're right; quite aside from having a common driver program,
there are probably going to be pieces of (say) fsck_ffs and
fsck_msdosfs that could usefully be shared.  I wasn't attempting to
address that, though putting another common/ directory coeval with ffs
and lfs might be worthwhile.
